New to swimming

Hello, I recently joined a gym to have access to a pool for lap swimming. I have signed up for a lesson once a week to work on my form. I am looking to improve on my lap swimming because I enjoy it as a form of exercise and also find it relaxing.

I have two questions:

What type of suit should I wear? I currently have just been wearing lined swim trunks. They are Speedo brand and while not tight they also aren’t super baggy like board shorts. I see other guys with tight shorts on but they all seem more skilled than me while swimming. As a beginner to lap swimming do I need to invest in these more performance based shorts?

Second, I wear glasses and have never tried contacts. My I always wear my glasses to the pool deck and take them off while I swim. Is that what most people with glasses do? Has anyone ever had prescription goggles made? I don’t mind swimming without my glasses but it is a pain to have them with me in the shower after I swim. Any suggestions from fellow glasses wearers?
