LOL I have dozens, mostly worn out from overexposure to chlorine... I lost my first two from my early teenage swim teams when my boat was stolen twenty years ago but still have every one since!

If I had the money I would go on holiday every year to the countries with the best speedo culture and buy a pair from that destination.

Oh, me too. I think that is a dream many of us around this forum would like some day to make real.

Meanwhile, in Australia...
There's a Speedo store in every mall...

As well as independent shops like Budgy Smuggler with stores...
That is so great! I just wonder why I don’t see more speedos on Australian beaches when I look at pictures and videos online and in social media.

BTW, there used to be Speedo stores in shopping malls here in the USA, too. They all went away many years ago. I regret not having bought many more speedos from the nearest one when it was still there. This was back when the Speedo Solar 1” measured actual 1” on the sides, not the closer to 2” they do today.

Like others have said in my area there’s only Dick’s Sporting Goods and Big 5. However they only have basic Speedo’s in black or dark blue.

We go shopping at Salt Lake City. There used to be a speedo store in the mall there that I would go to all the time however that store is long gone. There used to be at Fredericks of Hollywood there too but that store is also unfortunately gone. In fact the whole mall is gone but that’s another story.

Same thing here, Big 5 and Dicks.
When I travel, I keep my eyes open for “speedos”. Got a nice suit in Italy a few years ago another in Paris and when I was in Barcelona I got a suit at the Decathlon store. Both cases the suits were inexpensive but nice!
