Augie Posted September 30, 2017 Posted September 30, 2017 I went to Casey Middle in Williamsville in the early 70's. Grades 6-8 and started there the year it opened. The guys were naked and the girls got a school issued one piece. My wife didn't believe me. She asked my mother "are you F%&*#@! Kidding me? You let this happen?" My mom shrugged....

Always wore swim trunks when we went for swimming lessons at the YMCA. Went every year for a couple week during elementary school. My varsity sports teams always showered together after practices and games. Kids don't do that anymore these days. I graduated HS in '06, played hockey and lacrosse. Showering in the locker room after hockey was the norm. When me and the handful of other guys who played both sports did it at lacrosse the rest of the team looked at us like we were nuts the first few times. Eventually a few of the non-hockey guys started doing it, but it never caught on with the majority of the team.

I was born/raised in NENY (Queensbury - about an hour north of Albany) and as kids (through high school) we always HAD to wear school-supplied bathing suits. They were Speedo-ish, but not as night. Blue and silky. Before gym, there would be a huge bin of them and we each had to fish for one that looked like it fit. After gym, we'd throw the wet bathing suits into another bin. I graduated high school in 1989 - because the "when," in this discussion is relevant. I'm wondering if the "where" is just a relevant. NO schools in my area gave "no bathing suit" as an option. There was no naked gym swimming. But it seems that this was commonplace in Western NY. Was there naked gym swimming where you lived? I'm taking the thread title as an invitation and yes.

Only one kid in my gym class wore a swim suit while at the pool (the placards on the doors didn't say "pool", they said "natatorium") and he was ostracized mercilessly for it.

What I remember most clearly was looking out those round windows at the frozen, snow covered track and soccer field and thinking "it's COLD in here!" No, I'm not making excuses! Haha And when it was warmer, it's not like it was one way glass. If the girls didn't have suits, I would have found my way out there. Did Al Bemiller play for the Bills? I'm too lazy to look up why that name is so familiar.
RaoulDuke79 Posted September 30, 2017 Posted September 30, 2017 This blows my mind. What is the reason for swimming naked? Why not play kickball naked. Why aren't the girls naked. So many questions.

One of our buddies had a key to the "Natatorium", and when the bars closed we would go there, but the girls didn't have suits. My kind of girls.

KD in CA Posted October 1, 2017 Posted October 1, 2017 WTF? The 'grab a random bathing suit from the pile' part of that story is gross enough.
