Some water parks have begun to ban shorts. The material used apparently messes up the slides.

I would say baggy shorts are good for the wild outdoors, seem to me a bit out of place in a swimming pool. I wear baggy shorts if I'm out in the Atlantic, which reminds me I must book another week in Tenerife sometime.

Budgie smugglers are just wrong.

AFAIK It's only the frogs who insist on Speedo style attire in public pools, I've tried to find out the reason on numerous occasions but I've never heard a satisfactory answer. They insist on rubber hats too.

Maybe Le Rosbif can enlighten us? There’s a first time for everything.

Also some hotels in the US are now insisting no shorts.

What's the current swimming trunks etiket in uk leisure centres - baggy shorts or speedos?

Depends why you are going to the pool I guess.

If its to impress the girls, then Speedos and possibly a cucumber if the water is especially cold.

If its to show how laid back you are, then the baggy look sais you don't care in a way that Speedos never can.

I think it depends what shape you are.

Apparently these are quite popular among the ladies.

Like looking in a mirror!

My understanding from my time in France is that it is a hygiene issue.. the shorts type thingies tend to be worn all day, so people may go for a dump in the same shorts they go swimming in... so they prefer you have a dedicated set for going into the pool.

[BolshieBastard]

Doesnt matter. Just make sure you have a hard on when getting out of the pool.

I regularly do lane swimming at my leisure centre and wear speedos which seems to be the norm for serious swimmers.

Baggy short are OK for those just splashing about though
