Hi all. I'm a 21 year old guy from the UK who with the pools re opening here after another lockdown, is getting back into swimming for fitness. I used to do swimming from age 7 to 14 and always wore speedos to train. I also always used to wear them anytime I went swimming. I much prefer the freedom of movement wearing speedos than any other type of swimwear!

Welcome on board young man . Like you I do love speedos or trunks and the just love the feel of them in and out of the pool.
I hope you enjoy the forum?

Zwimmer how did you find it? The getting in swimming and getting out? Glad you finally got to get back in the water.

I wore my speedos to the pool. Had to undress/ change by the pool side - these along with my bag were left by the poolside. There were 2-4 people max at any one time in the lane (which was wider than normal). On my way out went to the changing room for a shower and change and left. Swimmers are limited to 1 hour inclusive of changing/ shower time. and Entry is staggered (max 4 people coming in every 10 minutes). It was not a busy time so fo the last 20-30 minutes there were only about 4 people in the whole pool. So overall, a good experience.
