My husband went to high school in Detroit in the 70s
During PE when they swam, they swam nude. No shirts, no trunks, ALL SKINS.

@Linnefaulk Was this a school policy or just one terrible PE teacher?
@siracusa School policy.
@Linnefaulk Madness!

I have heard the same about my small town Iowa high school. An old PE teacher/coach said the reason was that they didn’t want lint/fabric bits clogging up the drain/filter/something or other. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@millsap @siracusa @Linnefaulk

This is madness.

@hotdogsladies @siracusa @Linnefaulk And now that I’ve heard the rope climbing bit in the latest ep, I realized it’s really all just about preventing damage from fibers.
