How to get ocean smell out of swimming trunks?
Q. After swimming in the ocean I always rinse my trunks in fresh water. But it still stinks. I don't want to use bleach them because they are colored. Even if I put them in the washing machine they still smell like the ocean.

Would it be ok to wear the same swimming trunks twice a day?
Q. So I have two swimming practice sessions. One before school and one after school. Do you think I should use the same swim trunks for both sessions(even though it will be wet the second session), or use a seperate trunk for second session?
Asked by CW - Tue Jul 28 12:47:34 2009 - - 9 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Yeah it's totally fine! It's the same day, and it's not like it's un-hygenic. Maybe you could use a different one for the next day, but on the same day, it's fine.

how to get rid of the old smell from your swimming trunks?
Q. I've realized that when you leave your swimming trunks in a drawer for a while without using them, they get this old fabric kind of smell and they are good to throw. any tips and tricks to avoid this are welcome.
Asked by B K - Sat Aug 15 04:24:29 2009 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Depends on what kind of suit it is. If it's lycra, forget it and toss it. If it's just polyester trunks you're talking, then pop the suit in the wash, hang it outside to dry and then wear it until it falls apart from the chlorine.

When did the first modern-day swimming suits and swim trunks come out?
Q. I have seen pictures of boys wearing swimming trunks way back in 1935, which seems like ages ago to me. Hey, I wasn't born until about 1995 or so, and I'll bet my father James (who looks about 40 years older) isn't as old as that! Are swim trunks really almost 50-100 or so years old? I wonder about that.

A. Some guys wear boxers und boardshorts, but most guys just "freeball" it. Underwear dries really slow, and stays soggy. Swim shorts are made of fast drying nylon. If you want support, get a pair with the mesh liner. Otherwise just wear the boardshorts with nothing under them. Girls don't wear a bra and panties under their swimsuits, why would guys wear underwear under theirs? When I was a lifeguard, all the male guards wore Birdwell brand boardshorts with nothing underneath.

What color swimming trunks do I wear if im pale?
Q. I'm a guy so I want blue,brown,green, or white. Thanks in advance for answers.
Asked by shlo360 - Thu Jun 19 22:25:20 2008 - - 8 Answers - 0 Comments
A. For anyone with pale skin, the key is to wear a swimsuit that is no darker than a medium tone of whatever color you like. So a light medium blue, medium tan, or light medium green would look best on you. White would disappear against your skin tone and dark or deep bright colors would contrast too much and make your skin look even lighter. Most important, be sure to wear strong sunscreen since light skinned people are especially likely to get skin cancers and early wrinkles from the sun. You can always use the self-tanning lotions to get that sun tanned look and it's tons safer, too. Have fun this summer!! : )
