| May 26, 2015 at 20:27 | comment | added | Nzall | @RossRidge There are roughly 4 types of swimwear: loose shorts, tight shorts, Speedo-briefs and full-body swimsuits for triathlons or diving. Loose shorts are mostly banned for safety and hygiene and I'd rather not wear Speedo-briefs because they make me feel naked. tight shorts are usually allowed, so are full-body swimsuits. | |
| May 26, 2015 at 20:18 | comment | added | Ross Ridge | @NateKerkhofs Sorry I assumed when you said your that preferred attire wasn't allowed because of "safety concerns with them getting hooked on protrusions", you were talking about loose fitting swimming shorts, ones that look similar to ordinary shorts, not the tight fitting swimming shorts pictured above. If understand you correctly now, this answer means you should have two non-speedo options to choose from at least one pool in Belgium. | |
| May 26, 2015 at 19:57 | comment | added | Nzall | @RossRidge It's not the tight fitting trunks that I'm trying to avoid. In fact, that's the one I'm most willing to wear. It's the speedo-style swimming briefs that barely cover anything that I'd rather not use. | |
| May 26, 2015 at 5:52 | comment | added | Ross Ridge | All those men's swimwear options look like they're the tight fitting trunks that @NateKerkhofs is trying to avoid. If a guard at that pool kicked him out for wearing loose fitting swimming shorts, it seems he would be justified. | |
