We like the beach and swimming pool cause we like to swim even if i don't know how, hehehe.. i jst like to dip in the water and not go deep. anyway, when you go to the beach, do you wear swimsuit or just shorts? how about if you are in the pool, do you wear swimsuit since it is required in swimming pools to wear swimsuit. At first, i'm shy to wear swimsuit because i don't want to show my body, but later on i realized why would i be afraid to show it? and there's nothing wrong with my body. It makes me uncomfortable at first when someone looks at me and i'm wearing a swimsuit but when i got use to it, i'm not afraid anymore to show what i have and not be shy about it. How about you? do you wear swimsuit when you go to the beach or pool? if not, why?

I do wear my swimming trunks whenevr I go swimming in the swimming pool... Actually I find it hard to swim in my usual undies..lol Also, the swimming pools authorities in our area don't allow swimming without the swimwear on... So, whenever we go swimming, we always have the swimming costume on...

Yes I wear a bathing suit to swim. Hubby and I don't swim in the ocean for fear of sharks, jelly fish and the like. We like the safer places to swim such as a pool be it ours our a public one. I wear a one piece bathing suit and have a cute skirt to go with it. I don't want to show all of my body because it's for my hubby's eye's only. lol

No I don’t wear a swimsuit simply because I have never worn one. Firstly, I don’t know how to swim and secondly, swim suits are seen as skimpy clothes women in India don’t like to be seen in. ladies and girls of course wear them in swimming clubs and in the upper society circles, but for the millions of general class, the swim suit for ladies is a taboo. In most Indian beaches you would see the ladies enjoying the see in traditional dresses.
I had once tried wearing a swim suit and being on the beach but did not like the feeling really. For one, I was the only one there and secondly, the guys were ogling at me. both these factors made me scared and self-conscious.

I wear my bikini or my swimsuit when I am off to the beach. We all come in various shapes and sizes, and we need to try hard not to be self-conscious about ourselves, because, as you correctly point out, there is nothing wrong with our bodies, and it is all quite natural.

i did wear a swimsuit for the first time in my whole life just this summer! we had a company activity at one of the best resort in the country. i felt that i should seize the moment and since i look okay and my friends say i look good, i just let go of my shyness and yep i swam around with my 2 piece swimsiut! it felt really good, but i still wore shorts and a tank top when walking around. i wasnt able to let go of all that shyness anyway.

Even I live near the beach, I never wear any bikini. Not that I am not comfortable with my body, It's just because I feel more comfortable not showing off my body to anybody on the beach. I will wear one piece swimsuit and cover it with beach sarong while I am not on the water.. Besides, I dont really swim on the beach, I just play with the water and the waves...

I do not live neat any places where you can go swimming but I would like to go to a place where it is clothing optional. Not that I am a "hunk" but I enjoy being free to enjoy nature at its finest. There would not have to be any body else there to be able to enjoy it except my girlfriend. If there were other females that would be fine with me also. The bathing suits that are for men are very unflattering and if you jump into the water they fill up with air and can actually make you turn upside down.

the first time i wear swimsuit was when we have outing in batangas just before i left manila but i have shorts on it... i am too shy...
the second time was last week, we go fishing on the beach and decided to have a swim,, i have shorts on it too but my husband took it off coz he wants me to see wearing a swimsuit... so i dont have a choice but to let it off and wear swimsuit besides theres only few people on the beach that time :)

Yes, I do wear a swimsuit whenever I go swimming. I dont feel comfortable wearing them but it is required wearing a swimsuit whenever I swim in swimming pools.

I don't wear swimsuit. I have no such gorgeous body to show off. lol Everytime we go on an outing in the beach i just wear my shorts and fitted shirt. I even dunno how to swim. So I was just there enjoying the sight and the people playing around.
