I've heard from several sources that in American schools and one French school, it was normal practice to have swim classes nude, and in a couple of cases in Minneapolis, the classes were actually co-ed, with the girls in swimsuits but the boys without. This seems unusual to me, so I am wondering if anyone can confirm this, tell me what it was like, and maybe explain what the background reason for this was? Thanks!

I see you're as shocked as I was, but there are more than a dozen seperate accounts of this:

The high school I went to did that that, but that was over 20 years ago. I doubt that it is done anymore. The reason we were told was to keep the filters clean. I think it was a bull sh*t reason myself.

u . s ., California 17 the choice to do something is often needed. many human beings love activities yet have undesirable physique image and are uncomfortable around the alternative gender so being waiting to conceal up is a could desire to. purely like in co-ed wrestling the place I stay.. ladies supply you the choice to placed on a great t shirts over the uniformed spandex getup. If i grow to be uncomfortable and had this option it may well be a different sure.

This sounds unfounded. I can't imagine any public school allowing this to happen. And I can't imagine any parent allowing their child to participate in nude swim classes either. The school board in my district would fire EVERYONE if they even suspected that type of behavior was taking place.

Sorry, that's not happening, at least in the US. Clearly someone is playing with you. No administrator in his/her right mind would allow that and parents of either the boys or the girls wouldn't allow that. Seems impossible, don't ya think?

Omg I've never heard of such a thing in the U.S. that's very wrong and I doubt it's true.

There are laws against that. Check your sources again because it's not happening in the US.

it is not here in America, it would be against the law. Maybe in a nudist camp?
