Are thongs mainstream now?

I swim a few times a week at the local community pool and always wear a Speedo. In the past, I was often the only guy wearing a swim brief, but for the last year or so it's been about 50/50 jammers and Speedos.
A couple of weeks ago, I accidentally packed a swim thong instead of one of my regular suits. Nothing special, just a black, lined thong with a drawstring that looks like a Speedo from the front, which is why I didn't notice. I didn't realize my mistake until I was in the locker room. Rather than skip swimming that day, I decided "why not?" and wore it. I was a little worried there might be a negative reaction, but no one said anything. I've been wearing thongs to the pool ever since.
Is anyone else wearing thongs to swim laps? Have you seen other people wearing them at your pool?
