College Freshman Forced to Swim Naked with Male Students for Initiation.
This is part one of a story based on two stories my aunt told me years ago. As far as how true they are, I can only attest to the fact that nude swimming by males was required in some swimming pools at one time. The origin of the rules came in 1926, from the American Public Health Association adopted guidelines about swimming attire that indicated that because fibers clogged filters, bacteria count escalated. Therefore, all males using pools should bathe before entering and not be permitted to wear anything whatsoever, and that female swimmers should only wear suits that were not dyed or had loose fibers.I stumbled onto it one day trying to confirm what I had been told by my elders. No one knew exactly why but a simple search (males required to swim nude) confirmed this and gave some validity to some of the stories I had heard related to it. In some colleges, it did not end until the mid-70s. This national guideline was not dropped until 1962.
Some colleges even required that males swam naked at swim meets, while female team members in suits watched and waited to compete in their events. I assume they kept the rules longer as college students are over 18. It also confirmed that, in some cases, adult family members as far as parents and grandparents of the competitors were permitted to watch them compete.
All this is fucking crazy by today's standards, right?
This information and some stories I heard from my auntie inspired the stories I am about to tell. The story is mostly fictional, the character names are fictional, and all the characters involved in sexual acts or portrayed as nude are all over 18 years old.

I am lucky to have an aunt that was open to telling me about her childhood. Once I became a legal adult at 18, she started to tell me stories about her wild years in college as well and did not hold anything back. This story is partly based on a couple of my favorite aunt's stories of her experiences back then. They were told to me years ago so I am relying on my memory to recall them. At the time she told me these stories she was 20 years older than me. My auntie was still one sexy lady and caused me to have more than a few erections with her candor.
One story was about her as a college freshman being pushed into the pool area filled with naked males. She was pushed in by girls and members of the swim team as a freshman initiation. Another related story she told me was about how she lost her virginity on a gym wrestling mat at that same college. It gave me an idea for a story by fusing those two stories. My aunt was a flower child back then, and it was her awakening to the pleasures the other sex can give you during this period.
The time frame of this was the early 70s. I wrote it in first person, as told by my auntie Christine.
___________________________
My name is Christine, and go by Chrisy and was in one of the first classes at a former male-only college that had recently gone Co-Ed.
Little thought was given ahead of time to the fact that the nude swimming rule for males still was being adhered to even though no one seemed to know why it existed in the first place.
In colleges established as Coed, it was easier to separate the two sexes. The female locker room doors to the pool would be locked when males would be there. But this college was built for just males in the 30s, and only had one male locker room that served the gym and pool. The powers at be were forced to come up with some quick fixes as needed. One was that at least a changing room for females had to be established by converting a classroom a little way down the hall from the pool's main entrance. A locker room with showers etc was promised to us in the future.
The female students were forced to use the hall pool entrance. The guys came in through the locker room that had an entrance to the Gym and Pool. A sign and an occupied slider were posted on the hall entrance and were utilized when the male students were using the pool in their birthday suits. (No Entry, When Pool is in use by Male Students.) The door could not be locked due to fire regulations, and it was not an issue when it was an all-male college. It was up to the students to adhere, or not, to the sign when shown as occupied.
Even the girls' swimming classes had swimwear conditions, taken from an all-girls college's policies they acquired for guidelines I was told. They were more up-to-date though and required us to wear the thin nylon suits that were branded Speedos and used by swimming teams. These suits were OK for the girls that were not that developed but to others, including me, they did not do well at containing their breast and pubic hair. Trimming down there was not always done, not sure why, who made those rules, or set those standards?
It could not have been a woman that made such rules. Once I got my required team swimsuit I trimmed mine, I then knew how much and where to trim. While I was trimming it, I decided to take it down to a small "V" and it no longer obscured so much of my sex. If theirs is hanging out, why can't mine be at least seen through the hair?
I wanted so much to be one of the modern women I saw on TV shows and in news stories from rock concerts and such. I was raised on my own on women's matters, mothers like mine were raised by mothers that did not tell them much, and did not know to instruct their daughters on much either. I was starving for sexual knowledge, but it was not available to us, and what you heard was not always accurate.
Being a freshman, and new student at the college I joined the swimming team and took a diving class so I could compete in more events. One plus was that the class fulfilled the Phys Ed requirements for freshmen. I was a certified lifeguard-level swimmer, but diving was something I was not good at.
My story is about how I was subject to a surprise initiation by members of the swim team early on. It was one of those things that had both a negative and positive effect on me.
I was dressed for practice, and early, a males' diving class was still going, and it usually ran overtime as well. It was customary to get a free swim afterward as long as the instructor was there, or one of the swimmers was certified. I was told the guys were never quick to surrender the pool, and we were in the hall waiting for them to be done.
A sign over the males' only notice stating it was occupied was up, but the apparent leader of the girls had a good explanation for me when I asked, I was the new girl. She said, "Oh, it is up there a lot when we get here, the guys from the class are left on their own typically one of them is a certified swimmer. It is college students that often get stuck teaching many of the classes and they sometimes stay during the free time period. The sign is only changeable from out here." She reached up and slid it back and forth to show me then added, "Changing it is often neglected, especially since it would require a naked male student in charge to have to come out in the hall to do it. Sometimes in a towel, sometimes not we have been told, we are always hoping for that. We tried ignoring the rules once and changed it ourselves, but we were met with some opposition from the guys."
"Yep, we just walked right in, and we're checking them out when a guy told us that we would be welcome to join them if we stripped too, in their wet dreams we told them and left."
She then opened the door just enough to create a crack to look through and said, "See for yourself, you might want to pick yourself a hung boyfriend."
