Greetings from California

Hello from Sacramento, Ca. I have taken up swimming again, and love the freedom of gliding through the water in my speedos. I am in my mid 40s, and swimming has me in the best shape since college. My wife always asks me what my fitness goal is. I don't tell her, but my goal is to look good and feel good in my swim briefs. Still working on it! I am posting some pics and later hope to show some progress toward my goal.

Welcome! Judging by what you've shown in your pics so far, if you are "still working on" your fitness goal, then the end result must be pretty impressive. Many would be very thrilled to look like what you already got going on.

Thanks for the compliments everybody! Carefully selecting pictures and editing can make just about anybody look good! Still trying to tone up the midsection a bit more and add some more muscle to my legs. Just had a great swim this morning and feeling good. Happy New Year to you all.

Welcome to our merry band of speedo'ers, warming to see another in the US on the board!
May our numbers grow and flourish as the populace realize what is the proper swim attire; and Bullseye, you are an excellent example to spread the word!

Hey Snowbrief,
You make me sound like some kind of speedo evangelist! But unlike you, who apparently frolics on the snowy Minnesota hills in your briefs, I am guilty of keeping my speedo lamp under a bushel. I only wear them at the gym pool and at the home pool when no one is around. My teenage daughters would disown me if I ever wore a speedo around them or in public anywhere else. In fact, outside of my fellow swimmers at the gym (and now you guys on the forum), the only person to see me in my briefs is my wife, and that's in the hot tub when the daughters are sound asleep. And don't forget, I am 46 years old. Around here, at that age. you wear a speedo in public and that qualifies you for "dirty old man" status.
Hope you are enjoying all that snow (in your speedos, of course) in Minnesota! And have a great New Year.

It's a great place to live. Lots of great cycling here - coastline, farmland, mountains, desert... Don't know how it compares to Spain. I don't cycle, but I would love to. It's something I would like to take up when I can afford to get a good bike and gear. (After my kids all graduate from college, maybe?) For now, I'll just stick with swimming. You have some great posts, by the way. I envy those legs you have built up from riding.
!Que tenga un buen dia y Feliz Año!

I've been giving this comment some thought, as I am the same age, I believe this would be true as to the location and the occasion as to where you are wearing a speedo. At a public pool where lots of kids are, I would agree not appropriate at our age during the current times, but at a beach, if your sitting there reading a book, I would hope not. Walking around with sunglasses on and staring at the younger crowd, then yes, that is a "dirty old man", no mater what suit their their wearing! LOL
Due to our cold lake water in the spring and fall, and my love of water skiing, I like to be the first and the last on the water, so I've worn wetsuits for some time and always have worn a speedo underneath. This has made it normal for the nieces and nephews to see me, the eccentric uncle that they love, in a speedo and even now with them as teenagers, they still don't think I'm a "dirty old man", and hope never do.

Snowbrief, hope my effort at humor didn't offend. Glad you can go out an have a great time on the water with the family. I am sure they will always love and appreciate you and most likely could care less what you wear in the water. I think you are right in your assessment about the place and time that would be appropriate. Remember I don't live on the beach. Around here it is pools, the rivers, or the lake. Pretty much all family destinations unless you go off the beaten path.

Well, I don't have any new suits to show off. But I had the day off today and had some fun taking pics with the suits that I have. Decided to be a bit more adventuresome with the pics this time. I didn't want to start a new thread, so I figured on would post them on mine! I haven't seen any animated gifs on the site, thought I would give it a try.
Deleted the gif, decided I didn't like the set of pics. I'll replace it with something better later.
