    A poll with 8 different items of clothing which is featured on the policy board inside my local swimming pool. Swimming shorts for me. Don't really like Swimming Trunks and Knee Length Shorts. I know someone that has to swim in T Shirts during their job rules.

    Most of my swimming for the last 6 months has been in Finland.

    Swimming shorts, but nothing at all is better if you can do it.

    Jammers when doing lengths, board shorts when just chilling by the pool on holidays.

    Sodeeps

    They’re basically speedos; inside out so I feel safer at greater depths.

    I wear a three piece suit and Beatle-boots and a umbrella just in case it gets wet.

    Knee Length Shorts (Men)
    I do a lot of swimming and for me its shorts, usually the shorts I've just worn on a run.

    I love open water naked swimming too, although the shrinkage can actually be sore when your gonads get really cold and tight.

    The sea temps are just starting to drop now so I'll be in skins soon.

    If indoors or at a textile beach, then a swimsuit.

    For preference, though, I swim au naturel whenever possible. There's no going back!

    I'm not sure what in the list refers to what I wear.

    They are speedos but shaped like shorts.
    So, tight shorts.
    Are they trunks, or swimming shorts?

    I hate anything loose flapping around my legs and speedo budgie smugglers look ridiculous.

    I always thought “trunks” were swimming shorts? Bermudas or “board” shorts were the longer ones and speedos for the “banana” hammocks.

    All very confusing.

    The tide is turning…
