Swimming - loose flab vs. looking like an idiot
Discussion
I would like to take our baby to swimming classes. But... I'm fat. Not demolish-the-house-to-winch-me-out-and-weigh-me-at-the-zoo fat - I'm still very active, but if I spoke with the right accent I could pass for an American stereotype easily.
If I was female, I would wear one of those old-school one piece swimsuits that covered everything up between my crotch and neck, and that would be that - I could happily bob about the water like an amorphous blob.
But as I'm male, the best on offer only covers up my genitals and the tops of my legs - which are of least concern to me.
The only way I can think to cover up my many mid-body rolls, moobs and stretchmarks would be to go into the water with a t-shirt. Clearly this would make me look utterly stupid.
Are there any other options? I know I can't look non-fat - that's not what I'm trying to achieve. I'm just trying to find a way to keep my middle area looking like a single large amorphous blob, rather than a series of many smaller blobs and folds.
