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

why do you care? as long as your junk isnt hanging out, no one should care. plenty of women wear bathing suits that others think arent flattering-- but its that person's choice.
tight bathing suits can aid with speed- so its usually a preference for lap swimmers.0 -
Here in Australia, the Speedo (or budgie smugglers, as we prefer to call them) is pretty much a national icon. Certainly to be worn when swimming laps......can you imagine trying to do something athletic in water with acres of fabric flapping around your legs? I really don't understand all the Speedo-hate out there. On any body shape, just wear what makes you feel comfortable and helps you achieve your goal. If you look good in them, thankyou, and if you don't....well, that's none of my business and good on you for getting out and exercising.
To Speedo, or not to Speedo? Certainly a first-world problem0 -
I really don't like them - most of the guys I've seen wearing them resemble Mr. Bean. But don't stop wearing them on my account. Do what you want. You're swimming laps, not strutting down the runway.

Swimming Laps! You are doing wrong if you are worried about how you look.0

I, myself a lap swimmer too, freqently at pool ,few times in a week. I like to view men with good abs n on watever they wear, eventhough black or coloured or strip speedo.
If u have great abs, why not showing off like redfoo did. I find it sexy actually *wink*0 -

I don't care what other people wear to swim laps. Wear what you want as long as it fits the pool rules. I only judge when someone is breaking pool etiquette (joining a lane without a heads-up, joining a lane that swims at a different pace than you, etc.)0

I think if YOU'RE comfortable wearing them, then that's all the validation you need. You only live once, don't leave any room for regret.0

Laps at the gym... swim shorts like TYR's...
Headed to the beach or out on the boat waterskiing... board shorts.0 -

I say, wear what is comfortable. I couldn't imagine having to swim in long shorts...the drag would be a pain in the butt. You're there to workout.0

Jammers everyday baby!!0

I think they're gross, but if you're at least in good enough shape to wear one, then I guess go for it.0

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?

Seriously...I personally just don't care :drinker: When I used to swim on the regular, all I cared about was getting a free lane & not losing my top :laugh: however, something like this might stop me in my tracks...
All I care about is that you don't bend over in front of me.
Except this guy. This guy can bend over where he pleases.0 -
I never understand these threads. Everyone has a different opinion about these types of things - some people will love the idea, while others will be repulsed by it. In any case, if you like them - you should go for it. A few opinions shouldn't hinder you from what you enjoy. *shrug* Just my two cents.0

You can wear baggy trunks or board shorts to work out. That's just silly. Either rock the speedo and who cares what ladies think, or you could get some of those long speedos they wear at the Olympics. Those are hot.0

I couldn't really care less what someone wears to work out in the pool. I'm not there to ogle you, I'm there to swim.0
