Group Male Nude Swimming A history of the mandatory practise

I’m just young enough not to have had this in my school and never went to any YMCAs. But being naked in the locker room at school and the recreation center I swam at was very much a thing.

It seems to have ended at the insistence of mothers, not the young men doing the naked swimming. It started out as a hygiene issue with heavy wool swimsuits being a breeding ground for any number of nasty infections. Then the filter couldn’t handle the fibers in the water. Eventually, it was what it was, and I believe it was healthy.

I feel sorry for young men who never have any healthy group nakedness to allow them to become more self-confident and less hung up on nudity leading to all kinds of body image issues.
