Well done. I never knew that about the naked swimming. It makes a certain amount of sense in light of filtration technology at the time and clothing materials. Though, as a student of human nature, I assume there were many at the time who weren't at all comfortable with the practice.

There are definitely difficult discussions with our children—or children in general in your case. But I always come back to something I once heard that’s stuck with me: Whatever we're not teaching our children, someone else is. But worse. And wrong.

Thanks for sharing your wisdom: if we don't teach our children well, they will find another source for guidance (or misguided). I appreciate your speaking out about such a difficult topic!
