I appreciate the advice and encouragement. I went out the last few days without any hiding (though I did wear an undershirt at times) and it went well. There wasn't any reaction that I noticed anyway. 

I agree that confidence is key. My attitude is 'if you have a problem with this that's on you'. After all I could have gynecomastia as far as anyone knows and what kind of loser is going to make fun of a guy with that?

Swimming will be a bit of a challenge, they're pretty hard to ignore in the flesh, but I'll cross that bridge when I get to it (swim at night maybe?).

Thanks again.
