I swim laps in my thong 3 times a week at my gym without issue. I’m very glad to have the opportunity to do that, I too live in the Pacific Northwest and it will be a while before we have great weather again, so lap swimming will have to do.
I live in Montreal, Canada, and we just had 10cm of snow. I’d say outdoor thonging season starts in May.
But, I still wear my swim thongs at spas and at the local pool.
I just use the winter season as my prep season. Right now, I am trying to lose weight and make my summer body.
It has been a very long, extremely cold winter in the northeast and I can’t wait until spring.
With that said, I have worn a thong on several occasions this winter in hot tubs. These are normally hotel or condo hot tubs and I typically go later at night. In one instance, I checked into a hotel and asked the front desk clerk if it was okay to wear a thong and after a brief pause she said it was fine as long as there weren’t kids in the pool.
I also spent some time in Miami for work and vacation. The weather was great and I did have an opportunity to wear a thong on two days but I had to stay out of the sun because I am in the process of getting some areas on my body treated with a laser for hair removal and you can’t do that if you have a tan.
I’m heading back to Florida in late May and hope to spend some more time in a thong.
