Swimming laps at the gym, ladies opinion only...

michelefrench

when I'm swimming laps I'm just not paying any attention to what anyone else is wearing...speedo away boys...makes no difference here...

I approve of Speedos, or any swimsuit you want to wear.

I don't care what suit you're wearing as long you're wearing one. If I'm swimming laps at a pool, I'm there to WORK, not check out your junk.

So I've read some women don't like men to wear speedos.

I've started wearing a speedo to swim laps at the gym. I don't have a six pack but I at least have 4, and some hints of V lines...

What do you think of men, at least in pretty good shape(not fat ones..) wearing speedos at the gym pool?

Just don't mind my stare!:blushing:

Ok I will agree that if I saw you at the gym in this outfit, it would be a pleasant distraction.

I personally don't care what people wear BUT when I see a man in a speedo I laugh a little inside !! maybe its my immature side showing but something about them makes me laugh !

I genuinely do not care what anybody wears to swim in, provided they actually swim and not just do the old-lady-bounce up and down an entire lane. Honestly, wear a tutu and a scuba mask, just ****ing swim already.

RANT OVER lol.

I think this kind of swimsuit is a good choice. Actually they make some that are even a little longer which I think look better than a regular Speedo and are still conducive to swimming laps.

So, what won??

Some men can rock them.

I grew up as a swimmer so I've always thought Speedos were normal sports-wear - board shorts etc. are for 'playing' in the water IMO, not training. So I wouldn't have a problem with guys of whatever size wearing them for workouts. I generally try to operate in a judgement-free zone though, because people could certainly judge ME much harsher than I could judge them lol.

I don't care what you wear to the gym. It's not like I'm there to meet people.

I don't care, quite honestly. I'm concentrating on my own thing anyway. If a Speedo is better for you to swim in, do your thang.

No. Never. Ever. Ever. On anyone. I don't care if you have an 8 pack. No. Never.

Board shorts all the way.

:laugh:

OK I feel that I should comment seeing as I spend a great chunk of my life at a pool. If you're serious about swimming you will naturally gravitate towards budgie smugglers because board shorts will just get in your way, mess up your technique. If you're in the pool just for a play / cool down, then it's board shorts.

^ Yup. I would kill my S.O. if he wore them (lol), but I don't look at anyone else.

Agreed. Wear what works best, not what is the most stylish. I find board shorts, while definitely the right choice for the beach or the water park, tend to bunch up, get in the way, add a lot of drag, and don't really stay on very well when swimming laps. I think it's a pretty safe bet most would rather see me in a swim brief than unintentionally skinny dipping.
