This is the one where I need a suit.
Posted May 6th, 2010 by Mike Lawson
Not a suit suit. I need a bathing suit.
The only pair of board shorts that I have right now are from when I was like 100 pounds heavier. I would like to add some swimming to my cardio routine…or some jacuzzi time when my under-worked muscles are achy.
But what do I buy?
Here’s the dilemma…I know that board shorts are the most versatile. And they are probably the most concealing. The only catch is that I’m using these shorts for swimming, so I’m thinking that perhaps something like the Nike Swim Shorts (pictured) would be more appropriate.
My problem with the Nike Swim Shorts is that – I know this is hard to believe – but my legs are slightly less bulky than the creepy white mannequin pictured.
I’m not sure I’m tan enough to pull these shorts off.
And after all of that is said and done, perhaps a pair of shorts like this one will help me stay motivated. You got to keep up the workouts, I might think, so your fat ass will look good in those shorts.
Or maybe I should just say “fuck everyone” and wear whatever the hell I want to wear. Half the people at the gym are 75-year-old men with huge guts sitting in the sauna naked. Who cares?

Perfect opportunity to buy a pair of aussieBums!!
You could also just buy a speedo. Or if you want a longer leg you can buy a pair of jammers. I don’t know how well Nike swimwear fits, but Addidas and TYR are great brands for swimwear. Just go to your local Big 5, Sports Authority, or Sports Chalet and you can find something real easy.

Wear what’s comfortable, I say.
But motivation is always good.

Try being forced to wear a speedo when you were on a swim team in middle school. Humiliating!

If you’re going to be swimming for fitness just suck it up and wear a speedo. It’s about the workout, not how you look hanging out afterward.
