SpeedoForum.org

Great to have a profile again and be able to take part in discussions.
Living in Sydney, Australia for approaching 2 years and swim 3 times a week always in speedos - so liberating compared to my home country of England!

You look great! Glad you came back.

It is good to see the original members joining once again, welcome back!

You will enjoy the new Speedo Forum, not that the original was bad, at all!, but we are definitely a cordial, supportive group.

I am intrigued by that in Australia, you would have the need for a heated pool? I live in the northern central section of the states where even a heated pool would freeze over in the winter if outside, I would think you are warm enough that you really wouldn't need one? See, sometimes it isn't about speedos, but education, while wearing one right now of course.

Thanks for the welcome. Temperatures in some parts of Australia can get below freezing overnight in winter (which is now). Sydney is mild compared to Britain - daytime temps of no lower (and mostly higher) than 12 degrees C in June/June/August. Outdoor pools except ocean pools are heated in Sydney and open all year round, in other places like country towns they close for the winter.

Welcome mate. Great location - is that the Dawn Fraser pool in your avatar background?

You are very observant. Taken when I did the Cockatoo island swim a few years ago. Planning to do it again this year, even though I'm a chlorine pool man rather than an ocean pool one.
