A 61-year-old man’s lawsuit against the state of New York claims he lost his job as a lifeguard because he refused to wear a Speedo during his annual swim test. Roy Lester of Long Beach said he was employed as a lifeguard for four decades at Jones Beach before he was told he would have to change out of his bike shorts and into a skimpy Speedo for his 2007 test. Lester said he was fired after he refused to change. “I wore a Speedo when I was in my 20s,” Lester said. “But come on. There should be a law prohibiting anyone over the age of 50 from wearing a Speedo.” State regulations require lifeguards to wear “boxers, briefs or board shorts” during their annual 100-yard swim test.
