I really think there has been a bit of a resurgence. Maybe it's a bit of confirmation bias but it seems to be the case to me. Nearly all men lap swimming are in speedos. Even teens are more commonly wearing the wide side trunks.. ala funky trunks.

Down Melb way

I'm in Melb too. You a lap swimmer?

Hey Welcome,

Hope you have fun here. Also from Australia.

swimmer3333

Hey Welcome,

I'm not from Manchester, or even the UK but there are plenty from the UK on here. Hope you have fun.

swimmer3333

I'm in Australia, so I guess it's much more normalised here. I've always worn them. My 13yr old son has speedos but prefers jammers at the moment.

I think if I didn't wear speedos my family would be wondering why.

swimmer3333

Welcome! Seems to be a few brits joining recently. Judging by photos from family over there yesterday, you'll be swimming in the snow. Can't be good for shrinkage!

In my opinion, this is one of the failings of school and youth sport. It inadvertently teaches kids that there are those who are athletic and those who aren't, which is just not true. It's a terrible thing that really sets up people badly for the rest of life. We were made to be active, and left to...

This is so on the money it's not funny. Well said.

Thanks Sam.. I appreciate that. Too many have been wrongly and unfairly discouraged for too long!

The end result of that is that a decade or so later after hitting 95kg, I'm now about 68kg, which is pretty much close to where I was at 18. I think the key with this stuff is to do something that's sustainable and enduring, and that's best achieved by making sure whatever it is you do, make sure i...

I dropped a bunch of weight over the years but didn't throw out the old too large pairs. You sorta get attached to them and it's also nice to see a reminder of the weight loss! I am not sure if you have shared it in another post but I would love to hear your story. Based on your avatar, I am sure y...

swimmer3333

As the weight comes off it gives you an excuse to buy new speedos. They are already a bit too loose. There were a few times I didn't tie the drawstring tight enough. They slid 1/3 way down my bum as I pushed off the wall. Swimming for fitness does result in more rigorous push-offs from the wall so ...

Another 6% and you'll be showing us your 6pack! Fingers crossed I can get there one day! It would be amazing! I never had a flat stomach in my life. :lol: Congrats! Keep going! You'll get there. Doing something you enjoy really helps to make it sustainable too and it sounds like you're doing exactl...

Welcome to the forum.

I spent a decade in the UK and found it to be speedo friendly. Enjoy your time here.

swimmer3333

Hey Welcome Jspeedo,

I'm new here too. Nice to see others joining.

cheers,

swimmer3333

Welcome back. Haven't been to NZ for a while but when I was it seemed very speedo friendly in the lap lanes.

swimmer3333

I think this is true. In the pools I regularly swim at, the proliferation of brands like Funky Trunks is big. It's interesting to see how different brands are resonating with different demographics. Yeah, I'm thinking of getting a pair of Coco Nuts Budgy Smugglers for fun, and maybe a pair of the B...

swimmer3333

speedojoker will probably agree but its really down to which pool or beach you go to. certain pools with professional swimmers, its more common to see speedos i think theres a trend where we are shifting back to speedos for younger guys! especially with some of the designs our local brands are comi...

Used to be in Sydney a lot before they built this Covid wall between our states.

Oh man, a "like button" would be great. A simple picture sharing method would be awesome. Even I would put up photos then. That would be great. I'm also guilty of being a long time lurker on here and now that I'm registered i can see how many guests are on at once in the user link vs registered use...

Hey,

Welcome. I'm from Melbourne and new here too.

I jumped In the pool today and it was grey and raining, so I can definitely relate.

Those budgys will look great on you in any weather though!
