Difference between beach and pool

[Torchwatch]

There are many kinds of public pool sessions and many kinds of beach.
Wearing speedos at the adult lane swimming session is normal, while wearing them at the family paddle about in the shallow end and scream session is rarer.
Similarly wearing speedos on the main town beach, close to the car park and hot food concessions, where the beach is heaving with noisy families and teenage gangs is rarer than the quieter country park beaches which you have to walk a couple of miles to reach.
Once you have set up on your section of a quiet beach in you speedos, bikini or swim thong, new arrivals walking by can choose to lay down their towels within sight of you or move on to find there own more distant patch. Those who stop nearby whether they are singles, couples or families will tend to be wearing something similar to you. The guys walking around in shorts with speedos underneath are hoping to find the bit of beach where the speedo guys are.
