Changing suits when lap swimming

California Dolphin stated:
I was on my high school swim team in the 60s and 70s and every athletic swimmer wore briefs -AKA- what is commonly called a "speedo". Same with short shorts for boy's P.E. and summer wear.

In my post, I claimed Speedos were not that common - OTHER THAN FOR SWIM TEAMS. Duh..... Thanks for making my point.

Sebbie mentions the popularity of briefer suits at certain beaches such as Waikiki - but Waikiki is hardly a 'typical' US beach, with it's wealthier and often Asian clientele. More typical beaches might be Myrtle Beach (in the 'Bible Belt' south - where I've worn a Speedo with no harassment), the beach near Corpus Christi, Texas (again where I've had no harassment), Bethany Beach, Delaware (many times - no harassment), Wildwood, NJ (no harassment, though the beach was fairly empty that day), Presque Isle beach at Lake Erie (no harassment, but did get a couple of glances), Long Beach, CA (no harassment), and pools nationwide.

And again I state there is no "anti-Speedo movement" anywhere except in the minds of some people on this board who have a fetish about the suits, and think it should be natural to wear one while shopping at the mall, dining at a restaurant, etc. Most people - even the 'right-wing Christian extremists' some see hiding under every bed - pay no notice to the issue of Speedos simply because they are a non-issue to begin with!
