Hi guys, I’m a 36 year old man and I’m about to start adult swimming lessons at a municipal swimming pool in the Netherlands.
Just became a father so exercise has been non existent lately. I’m a little self conscious about my small belly 😅, so I’m wondering what men normally wear for swimming lessons.

Is it completely normal to wear loose swim shorts and swim with a bare chest, or would wearing a fitted rash guard/swim shirt be more appropriate?

I’m also a bit nervous about the language. My Dutch understanding is very basic, and I’m wondering whether swimming instructors generally speak some English or whether the lessons are strictly in Dutch.

I’d really appreciate hearing from anyone who has experience with adult swimming lessons in the Netherlands.

I’ve been trying way too hard to resist buying the U1 because it checks almost all the boxes for me. But then I also see that Creality is launching the K3 with their KliTek system, with claims of superior performance with TPU.
For those who own/use the U1, how reliably does it handle the more common TPUs? Is it basically plug-and-play once you have the right settings, or does it still leave something to be desired?
I’m finding myself in a bit of decision paralysis. Spending almost $1,000 on a printer is a big deal for me, so I’d really appreciate some honest feedback from people who have actually used TPU on the U1.
If only the U1 had 5 nozzles for true CMYK 😭 maybe my decision would be a lot easier.
