From the cold Midwest

I've been on the board for a little while, but I've never introduced myself. I just added my avatar for the first time, so I figured now would be a good time. I'm 23 and active; my sport of choice is cycling, but swimming is a great way to relax.

I got my first speedo to wear privately when I was about 14/15. I would sometimes wear it under a pair of shorts, but never on its own. The last two years or so I have been transitioning to wearing speedos all the time. At the moment all I have are squarecut speedos because the one pair of briefs that I had got worn out.

It's very cold in my area of the Midwest right now, but I'm thinking of joining a new gym with a pool so that I can swim even over the winter.

Welcome to the site hope you enjoy it. I agree with you about trying to wear your swim briefs to the gym pool. I did that and its helped me overcome my fear of ppl seeing me in one.

Welcome Zaps! This is wonderful, out numbers are growing in the upper States!

A warm sauna would go well right now. Stay warm

welcome zaps! Looking great in your suit. I also do cycling and have my indoor trainer for the cold months. Hang in there during the winter. I make sure to keep swimming laps even on the coldest days.

Thanks for all the warm welcomes everyone. With -20F wind chills today, I like thinking of warm speedo beach weather.

Zaps, I find the best way to warm up is to strip down, put on a Speedo and take some pictures. And then post 'em. You're too sexy to not share more of that body with us here!

Here are a couple pics of a new suit I bought about a month ago. It's too cold and I don't have access to a pool, so it has yet to see water, but I think it'll be a nice suit.

Welcome! You are in good company here - I also like cycling - usually average 230-250 miles per week, sometimes I'll push it up to 300+. Cycling is relaxing - but it's hard work, I ride hard, I've learned how to hurt myself, to use that old cycling quote.

You are looking pretty fit - never seen a suit like that before. :)

Welcome, zaps- I'm new here too. Great suit- I think I have a similar cut in different colors. Mine is a cheap Chinese one I got via Amazon (I cut the rubber logo off).
