I'm a big fan of the Solar styles (both the traditional and printed, which are slightly different) for both swimming laps and lounging. This brief is very similar to the printed Solar style, and the "Azure Blue" print is so bright and colorful. It's well made, fits great, and looks awesome. You won't be disappointed! Since these are competition/training suits, if you're interested in a more relaxed fit, get a size up from your normal pant size.
