Passing my driving test and buying my first car meant that I could go to the swimming pool straight from work. I was a runner and I wore the shortest, shiniest, most slit up the sides shorts I could find. I kept getting hip/ hamstring injuries that took ages to recover, years later I discovered that being deaf in one ear I turned my head to one side to hear forwards and this was unbalancing me and causing the injuries. Unable to run I went swimming, I really hated the navy square cuts my mother had bought me for use in the school outdoor pool. The plain black nylon 3" Speedo briefs in the sports shop seemed so much more exciting.
They seemed so light when I tried them on in the shop, so insubstantial, I felt myself rising as I went to the till to pay pretending everything was normal.
I rose again at the pool the first time I wore them, I had to dash from the locker room to poolside and jump in quickly before anyone noticed. Once in the water they just felt so good to swim in.
A few weeks later I got the 2" side black nylon ones with the red and white flashes on the sides.
