Johnny Hammersticks Posted September 30, 2017 Posted September 30, 2017 I used to go to a friend's parents house for the great race and ice fishing on owasco lake. Do you happen to know any of the Sikoras? I know Andrew.
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....
WhoTom Posted September 30, 2017 Posted September 30, 2017 Swimming nude always cut a few seconds off my lap times due to excessive drag. Try colder water.
Augie Posted September 30, 2017 Posted September 30, 2017 Try colder water. ...or a deeper pool. But congrats on dragging the bottom! ...does that hurt?
Chandemonium Posted September 30, 2017 Posted September 30, 2017 Graduated in '97. Auburn High School. 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.
Royale with Cheese Posted September 30, 2017 Posted September 30, 2017 Each year, it seems, this topic comes up. 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.

I was at Casey middle as well the year it opened. I was in 8th grade. Remember substitute teacher Al Bemiller? That was so long ago. 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.

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.
BringBackFergy 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.Do you like gladiator movies?

Well, on the bright side....maybe it did prepare me for college. 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.
RaoulDuke79 Posted October 1, 2017 Posted October 1, 2017 Do you like gladiator movies? As long as they are wearing loin cloths.
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.

Azalin Posted October 1, 2017 Posted October 1, 2017 (edited) Was he looking in the creepy windows? Not that I remember. It was the principal that had the monopoly on creepy, as I recall. I take it that you went to Williamsville North after Casey? Edited October 1, 2017 by Azalin
Helpmenow Posted October 1, 2017 Posted October 1, 2017 I never heard of such a thing as swimming in the nude at school. What the hell is going on? at Iroquois we did it. Bud rider and ed stohre were the gay rods who watch us in the pool Iroquois Middle School...70's. Yes...nude. And the pool was freezing cold. Graduated up to "ball huggers" in high school if you forgot your swim suit. Bud rider was gay!! He liked to paddle everyone there. Hear is a great t shirt
