Swimming

As a boy, I took a bus into Camden NJ for swim lessons. We watched cartoons in an auditorium until they called our class. Then we stripped for the lesson. I remember seeing nude men reclining on chaise longues in the solarium.
Society didn't have a problem with nudity in the 1940s. Times have changed!

An older Y somewhat close to me still has a semi solarium for the men who use the 18+ locker room. I know the post was specific to athletic type of activities. As one of the other commets noted related to an former experience, this particular solarium is predominantly used nude.
