nude gym class swimming

Any of you old farts online ever have to do this, i heard of it before but didn't know it was so widespread around the country, sounds like a lot of gay gym teachers got their fill every day

It is hard to believe that there was once a time when many junior highs, high schools, colleges, universities and YMCAs featured swim class wherein all male students were required to swim nude. The practice was that females always wore full bathing suits when using the same pool facilities; however, it was mandatory that all males remain completely naked while in the pool area. The purpose why only the males were required to participate nude and not the females is unclear - some claim it had to do with the antiquated pool filtering systems getting clogged, others say that the lockers would smell terribly if wet suits were left for long periods of time in the lockers. Based upon articles we have read, including those linked below, the practice was wide spread across the country until the 1970s when it apparently died out when it became more common for females to use the facilities at the same time as the men.

The gym classes typically began with all males stripping completely in the locker rooms and thereafter entering the large pool area. They would line up nude for roll call and instructions from the coach or instructor, who was routinely clothed. Thereafter the entire swimming class was conducted with the guys remaining naked. This often created an odd dynamic as many of these old indoor pool areas were not secured well and were in coed environments. Female gym classes may have been held in adjacent rooms, and often the female locker rooms also emptied into the pool area, although the female and male classes were segregated.
