I never learnt to swim at school but a friend forced me to learn after I left and I was so grateful. I am sure there are swim sessions for older people to learn to swim in most places - try looking on the internet for local ones.
As for speedos I love to swim wearing them and would hate to try swimming in baggy shorts which also take ages to dry out. Speedos feel much sleeker and sexier and on the beach are so much better than shorts to dry out while still wearing them.
Lets start a revolution and bring back speedos in public - women can show off their body parts in skimpy swimwear so whats wrong with men wearing skimpy swimwear which may happen to show a bulge which is just a part of the human anatomy.
They are sexier too!!!!

Hmmmm Thought Buffy’s were large sided? Those look great!
I see the lave to the left has shorts on. Any other speedo wears in the pool?
Swim every day? You must with a core like yours.

I’ve only ever seen one other man besides me wearing a speedo at my athletic club. He was older than me. All the “serious” swimmers wear jammers. I’m thinking most of them wish they had the nerve to wear a speedo. The rest just wear big boxy shorts.

The Budgy Smugglers have good side width but they come up higher in the front and I would like.

I don’t swim every day but I would like to.

Hey let's work on that left arm recovery! Look how horribly it's crossing over the centerline and throwing your whole body out of line. You want the hands to enter at shoulder width. There's nothing like a video to show yourself exactly what's going wrong with your technique. Perfect example here.

Yes that left arm is a problem. It’s funny how when you’ve been doing something wrong for a long time it feels right and doing it right feels wrong. This is why I’m taking the class.
