"When I was in HS the boys had to swim in the nude."
No nude swimming in my HS during the period from 59-63. Group showers, though. I don't remember being all that concerned about sizes back then. I really never noticed.
I wonder if the nude swimming thing had anything to do with the coaches little fetishes?
In our HS, the girls had group showers, too, not individual stalls. I think that came later. My HS girlfriend didn't think it was any big deal to shower with the other girls. We boys just wished we could be flies on the wall in there.
The first class was interesting, though. Our instructor was female, and one of the students (not me) showed up for class, in which there were girls, dressed just like he had taken the placement test.
I don't know who was more embarrassed, him or the instructor.
Today most probably nobody would blink an eye...
No, they had been doing it since the pool was built when my father went there in the 30's.
The girls wore suits of a sort. They looked like something from the turn of the century. They all had to wear the same thing. They had separate showers, but no doors on the stalls.
