Bulge… that doesn’t look like it is spelt correctly but I checked and it is.

I just got back from the pool and it was a nice day out.  It was pretty quiet being mid afternoon and with the sun out I feel like I’m working on my speedo tan as well as on my fitness.

When I was done (1,000m warm up, then sets of 50m kicking on my back, 50m brest stroke and 50m freestyle sprints) with a warm down to bring it to 2,000m which takes me about 40 minutes or so), I got out of the pool and had to check some stuff on my phone.  I was sitting at the end of the pool with a towel wrapped around me and I noticed two guys who had been swimming out of the pool as well.  One guy had a towel wrapped around him but the other guy was sitting there, legs spread giving me an eye full of his speedo bulge.

He wasn’t hard, it was just a beautiful bulge.

The guy was early 20’s and to be honest… he looked a little ‘gay’.  Hopefully he is reading this and will reach out and say hi, maybe give me a closer look at that speedo bulge of his.

Here are some speedo bulges just in case you weren’t sure what I was talking about.

Our lockdown ended yesterday at 4pm…. our dear leaders gave us a whole 6 hours notice which is so generous of them.  I won’t get started.

Good thing is, after some clarification on the new rules that we live under, pools are open so I’m off to the pool.

It is a rainy day here but after a week locked away and not allowed more than 5kms from home I’m getting out to enjoy it.  And hey, I’m going for a swim, doesn’t matter if I get a little wet from the rain.

Last week was just a shitty week and I was down, drank a bit and was lonely so this week a swim and I’ll get stuck in to a bunch of work.  I will be planning a Friday night swimming session like I had two weeks ago.  Hopefully the lifeguard and swimmer will be around.

(Not sure what I’m talking about, click here to read about an amazing little experience I had at the pool a few weeks back).

If anyone else is at the pool, I will be wearing a pair of red classic AussieBums, say hi.

The local pool in Breckenridge isn’t like anything in Australia.

For starters, it is negative a lot of degrees outside, so the pool is indoors.  Then, the pool isn’t a real length…. it isn’t the 50m pool I’m used to, it isn’t even 25m, it is 22.something meters.

I’m told it is 72 lengths to 1 mile.

That is stupid.

Why not make it 75?  Would be easier to count.

And the pool is at 8,750 feet above sea level.  that is 698m above Australia’s highest mountain.  or 31 and a half lengths, of their pool.

That isn’t where the oddities end……

At my pool in Australia, I don’t usually use the change rooms.  I just wear our speedos under my shorts or jeans.  So I drop them and go swimming.  Being in Colorado you have to use a change room… it is bloody cold outside.

In Aussie, when I go to the pool, most folks are swimming for training or exercise.  In Colorado, the pool is more of a cheap fun park for families and kids.

I get it, and there are lessons and high school squad training and then adult masters training going on.  A quiet day at the Breckenridge pool, is like every day at an Australian pool…. combined.  I’m not a fan of the crowds, but I love that people are using a beautiful indoor facility.  Kids learning to swim, people trying to loose weight and athletes training for events.  It is fantastic.

In Aussie, for most of those things I just listed, we go to the beach.  It is cheaper…. maybe we are just tight arses?

While I’m on a roll, I’d like to point out more differences.

My experience of Aussie change rooms (which I don’t usual use), are an in and out thing (except when something naughty happens – click here to find out about my naughty change room experiences).

In America, it seems like a slower process.  Strip down, walk around, take a leak, weigh yourself, arrange your clothing in alphabetical order.  All while being naked.

What?

Yes, never seen more bare bums in my life (I run porn sites) than in an American change room at the local pool.

Nothing sexual, just weird.  And not something I grew up with.

I get changed, maybe under the towel and get it done.  These American fellas were walking around strutting and chatting.

So, in Breckenridge, after seeing more than a barbie load of American sausage, I was down to my speedos and went to the pool, with my swimming goggles.

One would have though I had committed a crime.

Walking out of the change rooms, the weird pool version of elevator music stopped.  The lifeguards…. the pool isn’t deep enough for lifeguards, let alone 4 of them, stopped mid step, mothers nearly (I’ve be overstating it if they really did) covered their children eyes.

The Aussie is going to swim 2kms, I can’t figure it out so I’m going to swim 108 lengths which is 1.5 miles – which is more than 2kms which would usually take me 40 minutes, but being at altitude might take me 55 minutes.  I’m there to swim, swim for a long time, and do it properly.

I’m not going to swim 108 lengths in a pair of baggy board shorts…. what else am I supposed to wear?

And, I just saw 20 penises in the change rooms.  Right now, I feel like I’m holding the modesty card.

After my 108 laps I feel like a sauna…. peer pressure makes me go back into the morass of cocks that is the American change room and put some dork shorts on so I am not the weirdo wearing a speedo.

I don’t get it, it is weird and this is why I spend all the time and treasure on this blog promoting speedos and why it is just normal.

This time in two days I will be on the train to get on the plane to get on the bus to get on the chairlift to go snowboarding in Colorado!!!

Since I’m travelling for 30 something hours I have work to get done and Kip and I have some fun work projects to work on while I’m in Colorado so it isn’t really a holiday as much as it is a work trip (that is what I’m telling the tax man anyways).

I had planned on just cramming work for the next two days but after seeing today’s Speedo Photo of the Day on my site SpeedoFetish.com I’ve been compelled to get off my date and get to the pool.

I’ll be back in an hour.

For non-members of this blog I’ll give you a quick run down on what I got up to today….

I was up early, very surprising considering the shenanigans that Poly Paul and I got up to last night.  Yes, I was a little sore (a little ‘stretched’ one might say).  It was cold here so I did some work while Paul went in to his office at Parliament.

Then I went for a swim which felt great.  Pool was nice, not very busy, a little cold (I think it was a mechanical issue).  Showers at the pool were out of order but I managed to make myself presentable and walked up to Parliament House and was there in time for Question Time which was a hoot.  I’ve seen it on TV but never in person and it was very lively.

I have some juicy details on what we (not just Poly Paul and I) got up to last night but as I’ve mentioned, it is to be kept for members only.

Pic from the pool today… no cameras allowed at the pool but I snuck this pic.  No cameras allowed in Parliament either and I didn’t manage to sneak my phone in there.

At the pool this morning there was this gorgeous chick wearing a blue one piece swimsuit in the lane next to me.

I would love to report that we made eye contact, then she came back to my place and we did all sorts of naughty things in our matching blue lycra swimsuits but that wasn’t the case.  Just a sighting of a hot chick in blue one piece swimsuit.

What was odd though was that it is the first time I’ve ever seen her at the pool…. if she becomes a regular it might be good motivation for me getting to the pool more often.
