Are you railing on about the nude swimming?

USA needs to grow the fuck up.

Culture changes all the time and one has recognize when it does. There was a reason why you had to swim naked for an indoor pool but attitudes and swimsuits changed from the 1950s to when I was growing up in the 90s. I didn't have a swimming unit in high school in the 00s but if we did, everyone would still hate it but they would be covered up. I was on the swim team and the pool was a 15 minute bus ride and everyone wore suits and changed in towels. Nude swimming was socially acceptable at one point and now it isn't.

If I had a fenced off lawn when I have kids, maybe I would allow nudity at a young age but it is very different when it is with other families or other adults around. This is the US and there are decency laws for both sexes. I think it is okay if there are no communal showers and everyone is private nowadays. I get how it messes with a boys confidence if he doesn't know how he compares but I don't think it is that big of a deal.
