In conversation with another (American) avatar at a sim this week, it was pointed out to me that the ‘Y’, the YMCA, insisted on nude swimming (http://www.experienceproject.com/stories/Swam-Naked-At-The-Ymca/1805577) for many years, and the males in school swim teams also swam nude, often in the company of swimsuited female swim team members. Girls/young women were apparently clothed because the female body required ‘more modesty’. I wasn’t entirely sure if this could actually be true, so I did some research and found out that apparently yes! It might be true! (https://sites.google.com/site/historicarchives4maleswimming/home/archives---mid-20th-century-to-current/ymca-boys-clubs-schools) Then again, it might not!

Are the photos above composites of the male & female swimming teams?

The photos don’t look photoshopped to create some CFNM fantasy. Despite this, one site examines the different press reports (https://sites.google.com/site/historicarchives4maleswimming/home/archives---mid-20th-century-to-current/photographs) and suggests that, in many cases yes, the boys swam nude, girls clothed, but that there were gender segregated swim sessions.
I think we can say with some degree of certainty that males swam nude at the YMCA and in high schools, while females wore costumes. What I think is much less certain is that, despite photographic ‘evidence’ above, there were never any CFNM swim sessions. I would be delighted if any readers of SL Naturist could confirm or deny this CFNM scenario.
