After watching swim team meets between other schools, I tried out for our high school swim team I attended Harrison High School in Chicago from and what do you know, I made it! As I relive this memory it also talks to how swimming has changed in six decades and all for the better. I went to my first practice session in our swimming pool and I saw no one wearing a bathing suit. It was strange seeing my swim team members jumping into the pool while their private parts also jumped.

Swimming naked: my high school swim team did!
Author: James [ Edit View ]. A couple of times some guys mom came by to pick a kid up early or drop something off. But whenever it was a public meet where females were present we were required to wear trunks. I think this was more to protect the girls from having to see us than out of any concern about our modesty. Author: Jonathan [ Edit View ]. It was all boys in the class though a couple of the assistants were teen-age or young twenties girls. We were nude for the lessons.
The first time I saw a boy naked, I'd already lost my virginity months before. My boyfriend and I had Done It in one of those half-dressed, in the dark, "didn't know that's where we were headed that night" kind of moments. It was over very fast, and with all apologies to that boyfriend, it was not the time of my life. Seeing a boy naked kind of was, though. It was kind of one of the best moments, ever.
