I am a bit confused by

A men’s speedo covers more than your most basic bikini, are way harder to find and aren’t usually sold in boy’s sizes

When i was in a swimming club as a kid, we almost all wore "speedos". Someone wearing the versions with a little bit of leg on them was the rare exception. I used to be made fun of at lakes in the summer sometimes by people wearing the "bermuda shorts". Turns out it is a bad idea to make fun of someone who is good at swimming while being in the water and wearing the faster swimwear.

You wowed them with your speed and they all clapped?

Yeah sure. I totally didn't pull them under water for a few seconds or anything like that. No good kid would do that in a lake.

I won't argue very hard here, I'll just say that I didn't have bikini briefs in mind when I wrote this - but the coverage is roughly the same if you use those as the baseline bikini, which is fair enough.
