College pools? what?

Question

so we have pools at our school, duh what college doesn't, but anyways, i was wondering what...exactly do you wear to go swimming in it? i mean...do you wear a normal bathing suit that you'd wear to, like say, hurricane harbor, pulic pools, etc?? i mean it's a SCHOOL! i understand it's college and you can wear whatever you want, but iono, just seems awkward going into the school's pool to work out in a bathing suit with flowers on it. haha FEEDBACK PLEASEE!

Answer 1

Being on the swim team at my college, I feel no shame in wearing a jammar (basically a speedo, but goes down to the knees) with a mesh drag suit over it (about as much material as a speedo.)

Wear whatever you want really. I wear all sorts of things over my suit, including blue tie die speedos, and flowers, and star fish speedos. I look completely retarted, but after breaking various records no one really comments on what I wear at the pool anymore, haha. In fact some of the other guys on the team started wearing clothes that would seem to shout " I am a ***** "

Seriously, wear whatever you want. Swimmers won't even notice if you purposely come up with the weirdest suit, and most other people won't care. Just make sure it's comfortable and will stay on during your workout (i.e. bikini's are not good for competition swimming)

Answer 2

Most places would frown on a thong bikini, but otherwise most colleges could care less. 1-piece, bikini, tankini. Whatever you like, as long as it don't fall off.

If you are in water aerobics, lifeguard training, lap swimming--I would wear a one-piece suit. Anything else, bikini or tankini is fine.

Good luck.

BTW, in my conference in college only 4 of 10 schools had a pool on campus. Mine did.

Answer 3

Wear whatever you feel most comfortable in. I'd wear a pair of swimming shorts myself.
