I’m middle-aged and a bit overweight too. Don’t worry about it—no one’s judging your appearance.
Eleanor Roosevelt said, “You wouldn’t worry so much about what others think of you if you realized how seldom they do.”
This community encouraged me to buy briefs, and I wish I had done it years ago. They’re just more comfortable than shorts!
I often wear trunks over my jammers, then take them off once I’m in the pool. Nobody cares.
No one cares but you. Wear them & enjoy swimming! I’ve dealt with size fluctuations, just do what makes you feel good.
No one cares. When I’m at the pool, I’m just thinking about getting my own lane!
No one cares what you wear. Just be you and enjoy swimming!
I wear long leg jammers for comfort—stops chafing when swimming.
Wear them loud and proud!
Try jammers as a middle-ground option.
I get where you’re coming from. I wear jammers because they feel great and nobody cares!
I swim almost daily at my Y, and nobody cares what you look like. We’re all just there for a good workout.
Trust me, nobody cares about what others wear; they’re focused on their own workouts.
Wear what you like! I see all shapes at the pool, and no one is judging.
Nobody cares. You’re making strides for your health and wearing the correct swimwear.
It’s about comfort. I wear them at the beach too. Being comfortable means you’ll likely swim longer!
Nobody’s judging. Just wear briefs or jammers; avoid trunks and shirts.
Go for briefs! Just make sure they fit well, and you’ll be all set. It’s more about having fun at the pool.
I swim in briefs as well, and it’s always been fine! Wear what feels right and just enjoy your swim.
I tend to focus more on the pool tiles than on other swimmers; nobody’s paying attention to you.
