I grew up swimming nude in our public schools in Michigan. All of our junior high schools had swimming pools and required nude swimming for the boys. WE had nude swimming all the way to 12 grade. About the time I graduated suddenly this national tradition was discontinued and i could never figure out the explanation behind this. Nude swimming promoted better hygiene and cleaner swimming water for everyone. It used to be that it was easy to see clearly to the bottom of the pool. Today we have expensive and massive filters, but the quality of the water suffers since many people do not take a soap shower or wear clean swim suits.
