Swimming trunk 100 may or may not contain side pockets and back pocket as typical swimming trunks have. This pocket 103 may have a closure that has a Velcro snatch and catch area or a zipper to close the pocket. Pocket 103 has a diameter of approximate 1-4 inches to hold the cup 105. Cup 105 may be made of Styrofoam, where the cup is the device that keeps the male genitalia from being exposed when his swimming trunk 100 gets wet. Also, cup 105 may be made of any floatable material. The reason cup 105 is made of Styrofoam because it is a breathable material that also floats, which is another utilization of the cup 105 to float. The swimming trunk 100 may also be referred to as privacy trunk, which are also multi-purpose swimming trunks where the cup 105 place inside the frontal pocket will be made in bright noticeable colors. Since the cup 105 can also be a floating device it will be helpful that the cup 105 is colorful so it can be identified in a large body of water or as an SOS signal for help. There is one additional colored string 107 that is attached through the loop of the trunk 100 where the original draw string is placed or somewhere along an inside liner or waistband 101 of the swimming trunk 100, but there may be a plurality of colored strings utilized in place of the colored string 107. The colored string 107 may have any one of the following colors yellow, green, red, orange, blue or any color that is viewable from a far-away distance. Further, the color string 107 may have a length in the range of 5 to 30 inches. Also, the cup 105 will have a small hole 105a, so in the event of an emergency a person can take the additional bright colored string 107 and put it through the hole 105a of the cup 105 and wrap it around his leg, arm or wrist, any other body part or whatever it is that he/she wants to float so it can be seen as a distress signal.
