Man Banned From Pool for Too Long Swimming Trunks http://965kvki.com/man-banned-from-pool-for-too-long-swimming-trunks/ http://965kvki.com/man-banned-from-pool-for-too-long-swimming-trunks/#comments Sat, 10 Mar 2012 18:00:00 +0000 Mary Martin http://965kvki.com/?p=46800 Pool season is almost here, so you might want to rethink that swim suit...at least if you plan to visit a pool in Bournemouth, England.

Not for being out of shape or for falling asleep on the job... But for refusing to wear a Speedo!

He's been a long-time lifeguard at Jones Beach. And, when going through the endurance tests this year, he decided to wear something a little more, uh,  appropriate for his age.
