I went to a brand new HS on SW side of Chicago and had full showers and locker room as did the girls we swam nude and the girls in full swim suits so the board of Education stories are a bunch of bunk I think someone had a trunk full of naked pictures
the girls naked swiming
A nugget of wisdom that Warren Buffett has passed along more than once to Berkshire Hathaway investors is this: "You only find out who is swimming naked when the tide goes out. " What the oracular Omahan seems to have meant by this is that you don't really know or appreciate the risks that companies are taking until they are tested by adverse conditions--a corollary to the saying that everyone looks like a genius in a bull market. Buffett used the line a year ago, for example, in reference to the follies of large financial institutions exposed by falling home prices.
While the tide-going-out phenomenon clearly applies to companies, it is relevant to personal finances as well. In a booming market and a booming economy, we don't have to worry so much about our debt, our obligations and our expenses and our safety net. We don't have to worry so much about where that last penny goes, because there are a lot more pennies and dollars on the way. But when times get tough, we discover out that we are the ones swimming naked: Gosh, I guess I shouldn't have tilted my portfolio so much toward stocks. You know, I'm spending a lot of money each month on my health club membership, and I hardly ever go. And, hmm, is that all the cash I have on hand? I guess I'm living closer to the edge than I thought.
It was actually pretty cool to be there among all of the naked people and was a good reminder to let go of my own personal hangups with my body. While I may have kept my clothes on (as about 75 percent of the other people on the beach did), I admire the German culture and their acceptance of the human form, no matter what the shape.
Hello Cheryl,I have enjoyed your comments and recommendations for enjoying nude swimming in Germany. However, the blog misses one venue . . . hotel pools. I recall a visit to pool where 2 naked young ladies were just leaving the basement level pool of upscale hotel in Germany. I asked the attended if swimming nude was permissible. He replied yes. I took my swim suit off for the remainder of my visit. I have encounter the same nude swimming in Prague hotels.
Swim the Fly by Don Calame (Candlewick, $16.99, 9780763641573/076364157X, 368 pp., ages 14-up, April 2009)In his first novel, screenwriter Calame displays the pacing of an American Pie film, with three boy buddies instead of four. Ringleader Cooper Redmond lays out the plan in the first paragraph: "A real, live naked girl. That's the deal. That's our goal for this summer." Friends since kindergarten, this trio of 15-year-olds has swum on the Lower Rockville Razorbacks swim team since third grade. Sean Hance lacks a sense of humor, and, even worse, narrator Matt Gratton has a conscience--and also a crush on newly relocated Kelly West. Formerly a Dowling Dolphin, Kelly is a gold-medal-winning backstroker, and Matt only has eyes for what breaks the surface--oh, and her short brown hair and bright green eyes, too. That's why, when his teammate is out for the season because of a dirt bike incident, Matt volunteers to swim the butterfly stroke (hence the title) in hopes of winning the girl. In the single-minded pursuit of their goal, the three go to any lengths to get a glimpse of female flesh, which leads to some outlandish predicaments. Picture the teen trio in drag (caught by Sean's sister--who ensures the success of their disguise for her own devious purposes), sneaking into the girls' locker room at the community center only to be undone by a mix-up in Max's mother's product packaging (between protein powder and fiber laxatives--you saw that one coming); or hiding in a bedroom closet, three-stooges-like, waiting to witness a coital rendezvous; or Sean and Coop stationed on either side of the dressing rooms where Kelly and her best friend, Valerie, are trying on bikinis at the mall, while Matt keeps lookout. Sex is on everyone's mind, it seems. Matt's older brother, Pete, makes out with Melissa in his room (she advises Matt: "Girls don't mind if you notice their breasts. Noticing can be flattering. Staring is creepy"), and even Grandpa Arlo has the hots for newly widowed Mrs. Hoogenboom. One of the book's laugh-out-loud scenes involves Matt and Grandpa Arlo role-playing, with Matt as Mrs. Hoogenboom. Matt's budding friendship with Valerie, and the relationship he forges with the lifeguard, Ulf, after he sneaks into a country club to practice the fly add a measure of poignancy to the mix. The relationship between Matt and his brother doesn't feel fully developed, but this is mostly a comedy, after all. With a spot-on cover that telegraphs its high-interest contents, this book will be passed eagerly among the guys.--Jennifer M. Brown
Related to Naked People Are Funny. Often the prelude to a Two-Person Pool Party, a Sexy Surfacing Shot, an Outdoor Bath Peeping, Naked People Trapped Outside and A Party, Also Known as an Orgy. Super-Trope to Gone Swimming, Clothes Stolen. Contrast Non-Nude Bathing. For anime, see also Furo Scene and Hot Springs Episode (which is not always naked, only often). Compare Waterfall Shower, which can overlap or be a prelude to this at times, and Slippery Swimsuit, where the swimmer started off clothed but wound up naked anyway.
Matt and his friends, Coop and Sean, set themselves a challenge every summer. This year, with fifteenth birthdays under their belts and hormones a-go-go, their goal is to see a girl - any girl - naked. They know it won't be easy but, as Coop insists, it's step one in a very important and natural order of things. I'll let you draw your own conclusions as to what the final step could be...
As the summer goes on, the boys lurch from one slapstick crisis to another. Muscle head Tony Grillo doesn't take kindly to being spied upon from the wardrobe while making out at a party. Sean's sister catches them crossdressing - well, how else do three boys get into the girls changing rooms? And Matt finds himself at the mercy of a sadistic swimming instructor with black fingernails after sneaking into the country club.
My absolute favouritest of favouritest teen-boys-think-about-sex-all-the-time book is Henry Tumour by Anthony McGowan, in which poor Hector's brain tumour (Henry) is better at getting girls than he is. The teen boy's spectacular talent for cock up is just as hilarious in Submarine by Joe Dunthorne - but beware, this one is really a for adults, so it's even ruder (although I doubt this is a problem).
Indeed, Dan. There is a world of trouble out there, and has always been. That said, thoughtful school planning can avoid some of the humiliations. Apparently, naked swimming is one of those, at least in most communities in the US. Very sorry to hear about your brother and the alcohol issues in your family. Thanks for commenting, and best wishes.
Its a shame girls always seemed to end up where they were not supposed to be. I cannot even imagine a school creating a situation for girls to see boys naked. It makes me sick to my stomach to read such stories of boys humiliated and embarrassed by their female classmates. Schools catered to girls while boys were treated unfairly; for decades.
So along with 25 classmates, I stripped naked, lined up and waited until we were told to walk beneath a running shower to rinse off before walking down a corridor to the pool deck. We did as we were told, and no one questioned why. To me, it kind of made sense: why go to the trouble of bringing a bathing suit, and then have to carry it around while wet all day, when all that inconvenience could be avoided by going into the pool without any clothing.
The coaches in Houston should have been fired along with those responsible for letting the girls in to view the boys. This pedo must have spent weeks planning this out; paddling wet stark naked young boys.
I am not really sure of this subject matter; but swimming naked, i think was to get the male population to get ready for WAR. The point was to shape the male to feel comfortable in close quarter situations. To rid the male of this discomfort would enable the highest percent of survive due to hygiene.
I took a beginning swim class in 1960 at the University of Illinois. We were not allowed to wear suits. I still prefer to swim nude. Thankfully, my backyard pool allows me to do just that without being observed. I do not mind being naked with other nude individuals but I would not like to be watched by clothed neighbors who might raise an objection.
I used to live in ausrtalia. In our school all the boys had to do the naked swim. Unfurtunetly I had the smallest penis so after swimming and after I put my underwear the biggest boy in the class would grab me and everybody would hit me in the testicles. I was in agony for hours
Hi OrrinI remember having to swim naked in middle school in Buffalo NY. Have you heard the story of the red badge of courage? As I vaguley recall the story, our gym teacher had a bunch of rules that we were all to follow in and around the pool (like no running). failure to follow the rules would result in a hard swat on the ass, resulting in a large red welt. This became known as the red badge of courage. Stories of boys who broke the rules and received the red badge filled the lockerroom. I never had enough courage to break the rules.
No such luck. We are all marched over to the mats, buck naked, to practice mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. The PE teacher/swim coach tells us to pick a partner who we will practice our technique with and issues us all a piece of gauze. F me. I slunk to the back of the class and did not pick a partner, hoping to avoid the humiliation. Most did picka partner.
I never had to swim naked in PE myself. My older brother hit PE a few years before I did, and when my parents heard that the boys were going to be made to swim nude, they raised the roof. Other parents did the same and that was the end of naked swim at my high school. 2ff7e9595c
