Since you're German, I assume speedos aren't as big a deal among European guys as they would be in the U.S. I say wear a suit under board shorts and get a feel of the other guys.

It may be just a swimsuit, but it is not viewed that way by most people.

I've worn a Speedo brief in the pool at a professional conference where I was the only one wearing one and it wasn't a big deal to anyone.

Of course, go for it and don't worry about what others may think!
Speedos are still common and it wouldn't be a big deal. You can add to your sports wardrobe other shorts that covers a bit more. But I think it's only depending on your self-confidence. No need at all to worry about.

I'd go ahead and wear the speedo. Something I've learned as I've gotten older, is that people aren't paying as much attention to you as you think. There might be some brief awkwardness, but people will forget about it quickly.

If your coworkers are mostly european I would say you’d be the odd one out if your not in speedos. I’d put money on most of the guys being in Adidas square cuts

I agree with the guy above me. Just pack them but also bring some boardshorts. If everyone seems cool then go ahead and wear it. I went to a beach with my workmates and I wore Speedo a couple times. But there were only 5 of us so the crowd is easy to steer.

Not to embarrass you, Rozelle, but if I had a physique as nice as yours, well, I'd wear a speedo anywhere and everywhere ...

A great body excuses any fashion faux pas, right?

I would wear a speedo.

I do Taekwondo at an athletic club and most of our group have seen me in a speedo at the club pool including men, women and children. I’ve never had a negative comment even though I’m the only man at the club who wears one.

Just this past Monday a 65 year old lady from our group, yes I’ve sparred with her, was in the pool when I walked in wearing my Budgy Smuggler Sailor Stripes. She called out my name and waved. Nothing was said about the swim brief. I think most of us get too worked up in our minds over nothing.

Take shorts too and feel it out when there.
Work event isn't the place to be controversial.

It’s just light contact sparring practice. We rotate partners and spar everyone in the class from about 6 on up. Of course I spar less aggressively with old women and children. I’ve “fought” a lot of teenage girls.

whatever you decide to do speedosimone be sure to let us know how things went.

So, two weeks ago our Company Event took place.

The company rented a complete Villa in Mallorca for the 25 of us. The villa had private rooms, a huge dinig hall, kitchen and of course, a pool.

I prepared for the trip and packed only 2 swim suits: my Aussiebum Pacifica and my Flamig Goes Buddgy Smuggler. I decided not to take shorts and force myself to "be brave".

During the long weekend, we mostly spent it drinking and partying around the pool area. Music, games, beer and good fun. The 1st day we went to the pool, some of my co workers made some positive yet funny remarks... "Hey sexy boy!", "Nice suit!", "That ass!", Etc. All of them sarcastic compliments, but always in good humor.

After a few hrs of hanging out, everyone stopped making remarks and stopped caring. Some even started asking where did I buy them, and if Buddgy Smuggler had other funny suits.

After wearing my speedos 3 days in a row in front of my co workers and bosses, I can honestly say I dont care anymore about who says what about the way I dress for the pool. Im just really happy to be surrounded by such open minded people

Thanks for sharing. I think, as others have said, that we make a bigger deal about wearing our speedos than those around us. I'm glad you made the choice to only pack your speedos... now you're at the point of not caring what others think about what you're wearing and you can feel "free" and enjoy yourself wearing what you want.
I'm sure your story will inspire others as well!
