First Time in Public!

I've started using speedos for swimming at my university's pool, beginning last week. I've worn them at clothing optional beaches before, which was pretty anxiety inducing but, compared to the half of people wearing nothing, I was less anxious because those are spaces were it's more socially acceptable to wear them. But, with the encouragement of my boyfriend (ex-swim team, wears them regularly for lap swimming) I took the leap!
Not totally comfortable wearing them (especially since some people I know personally swim there and my anxiety goes off the scale when I see them), and even less comfortable with the idea of doing it by myself, but it's been nice step so far.

Congratulations! I know it’s challenging at first to wear your speedo in public but the more you do it the easier it gets and then it becomes more about joyful comfort and pleasure.

Yeah, go ahead & wear them! I wear mine everywhere there's a beach or pool - including Aussiebum!

Fantastic! Welcome to the club. There really is nothing quite like wearing a speedo in a public setting. I've been doing it for years now and it's no less thrilling today than the first time.
