I realised that most boys (below 12) will wear swim trunks(like men's brief) and they would wear shorts. Is it because they do no thave a nice looking body that is why they wear shorts(pants). I realised only men ( age 25-32) will wear speedos.

You can sometimes tell by the length of their swim shorts how serious someone is about swimming. Occasionally, you will see guys wearing 3/4 trousers. Then come bermudas and shorts. If you're really serious about swimming, AND have the confidence to do so, you can show up in speedos or jammers.
As for myself, I am serious about swimming, but I don't like the look of speedos or jammers. So I wear a bermuda. And a T-shirt.

I'm a competitive swimmer/polo player, and for polo, most guys on the team wear 2 short speedos (one on top of the other) so they're hard to remove in the water. For swim practice, most people just wear a short speedo (some also wear a dragsuit), and for races, the faster guys who go to state will wear jammers or legsuits or probacks or something, though just swimming in the one short speedo is common.
For people who aren't swimmers, they're worried that they'll look kinda gay just being out there ina tight fitting speedo that leaves little to the imagination. But after having to take a team picture in my school's official team speedo (black and gold checkerboard) in front of the soccer, football, field hockey, cross country, and several other teams, I am not bothered when my friends or whatever come to meets/games, and I'm just in the speedo. In fact, many times swimmers like to wear the most outrageous speedo possible (my friend wanted to buy a flesh colored one, and I've seen some that were tiger-print, or plaid, or black, hot pink, and baby blue argyle)

In competitive swimming a lot of boys wear speedos, but other than that I would assume it was because it was considered gross, weird, uncool by everyone.
