We never had to enforce 'swimwear standards' but we did guide Sam towards bikini's that were fashionable but not requiring a brazilian wax (I am kidding about the latter by the way). She was happy with that, the boys settled for trunks in the form of boxer briefs rather than boardies which I think just slow you down.

Can you elaborate what is fashionable?
I leave that mainly to her mother but they have bottoms which are more like boxer briefs and the top covers more than a couple of tiny triangles. Sam is quite hot on issues such as female sexualisation and titilisation so she protects herself so to speak.

Oh interesting. Typical for a teeanger.

I think Miss Sara that Matthew 5:28 says it all I feel very uncomfortable sometimes just in the street if I’m wearing leggings or something. men and boys should not be staring at girls.
How about the opposite do girls stare at boys who dobt cover themselves?
My son and nephew went to a high school that required boys to were fitted swim trunks (speedos or boxerbrief style shorts). Boys were often embarrassed by the girls who would out of teacher's ear shot would in detail discuss the boys packages and bottoms. My daughter was embarrassed the most with the other girls discussing her twin brother's junk and trunk.
Interestingly my nephew now goes to an all boy's school that does not have any rules on swimwear.
I didn't have an issue with my daughter wearing a two piece, so regulations said she had to wear a one piece in a solid colour.

Many many years ago boys use to swim nude at the YMCA. I was a counselor at a YMCA camp one summer and one night a week we use to let the kids go skinny dipping in the pool if they wanted to.

YMCA is basically a Protestant organization, isn't it? No affiliation to Anglican or Catholic Church I think.

That is true. I don't know when that ended. Probably sometime in the 1970s.

I think I heard about that. Before my time to bad that changed. Skinny dipping up in the creeks and ponds up in the mountains here is still pretty common tho I think.
