<p>Hey - I can bring the two separate discussions (nudity and swimming) together: My freshman year at Ga Tech (mid-sixties), swimming was a required course. it was quite difficult for most becasue of the “Drown-Proofing” course, but easy for me because I was on the high school swim team. But the swimming class at Ga Tech was done in the nude. Why? Some nonsense about cloth fibers clogging the filters, but I never did believe that story. When I told my wife about it years later, she couldn’t believe that, but if there are any other Ga Tech grads from that time frame on CC, they’ll confirm it.</p>
