It’s gym class and you’re completely naked. You could be having a bad dream — or you could have just been a male student in a Chicago Public School swim class.
For more than 50 years, high school gym classes in CPS required boys to bare it all during swim instructions — a policy commonly used across the country. Curious City reporter Monica Eng recently dove into the history of this policy after numerous Curious City fans asked about it. (You can hear the audio of this feature on Thursday during All Things Considered . )
Eng shared her findings with Morning Shift host Tony Sarabia, and we heard from callers who recounted their experiences in swim class. Here are some highlights.
Monica Eng: The policy was the boys swam nude and the girls had stretched-out tank suits.
When it started? It’s harder to date because Chicago Public Schools — I started asking them in April, then May, June and August. They will not talk about it. So I don’t have official dates. I did interviews with coaches and crowdsourcing, and it appears it started around the 1920s when they were starting to build a lot of pools in big cities across the country, including in high schools.
A caller named Gale shared this story about going to swim class at a high school in suburban Deerfield during the 1970s.
Gale: We had the intimate Ms. Olston, who I’m still haunted by, who was the girls’ locker-room inspector and bathing-suit hander-outer. And inevitably you’d walk through the showers, take your shower, and then you had to stand in front of her, show her your frontside and then your backside, and she was making sure you were clean.
Then she’d size you up for one of those tank suits, and I remember they were, like, light orange and light green, so I still hate those colors. And she’d inevitably give you a suit that was too small for you, so you’d be spilling out of it.
A caller named Stan, who said he graduated from Lake View High School in 1971, said the experience of swimming naked was traumatic.
Stan: Not only did you have to swim with nothing on, but when you were going out to the pool from the shower, the coach would be standing by the door and …
Stan: Yeah, and can I tell you what he used to call it? It’s just really embarrassing. He would call it “checking the lint trap.”
Tony Sarabia: Was this a traumatic experience for you?
Stan: You know, it was. After that — that was my freshmen year of high school — I would do anything to get out of having to take swim class.
John, who said he graduated from Lane Tech High School in 1979, said he is surprised by the reaction the policy receives now.
John: It was the policy throughout my tenure in high school. At the time, it was a little strange, but I think the way people look back on it now seems almost bizarre. There’s this sense of horrorification about the whole thing, and it just seems like we’re in a kind of new era of puritanism, where this whole episode is looked back on as something that just can’t be believed.
It was kind of a comical thing among most of the students I knew at the time. And I think the rationale for keeping dirty suits out of the pool was given. We always thought there was an ulterior motive that some of the coaches were on the pervy side, maybe, but that was just a joke among us.
But the whole thing, I don’t recall being traumatized by it all.
Elle said she went to suburban Highland Park High School and remembers how she learned of the nude-swimming policy.
Elle: My girl friend and I, we were freshmen, and so we were new to this school. And during one of our free periods, we decided to roam around and explore the school. So we came upon the boys’ pool and the doors were locked, but we could hear voices. So we were peaking through the slits in the door. I looked first and I was like, “Oh my God. Patsy, they’re naked.” So Patsy, she pushes me aside, and we were mortified and ran away giggling.
Eng: This was the fear of every 14-year-old boy, that this was actually happening.

My recent column about the mercifully discontinued requirement that boys swim nude in high school gym classes across Rochester and many American cities generated a flood of responses from older men who shared the experience generations ago.
The piece was intended to contrast the stark practice of yesteryear with the coddling of high school students today in Greece, where school administrators made changing clothes for gym class optional to reduce teenage angst about body image .
But the column also jogged latent memories — some painful, some amusing — of men who were forced to swim in a state of nature in their public schools, some as recently as the 1970s.
Dozens of men wrote me to share their recollections, and posted here are excerpts of some of their emails.
For some, the column validated their stories that younger generations refused to believe. Others took comfort in learning the practice was universal and not just a bizarre tradition at their school that for years was spoken of in hushed tones.
I typically don't share my mail, and I always honor all requests from readers who write and ask that our correspondence remain confidential. That rule still applies here. To protect the privacy of readers, though, the writers' last names and the full names of anyone else they may have mentioned in their note have been omitted.
“For years, I have wondered why the boys swam nude in gym class when I attended Jefferson High School in Rochester.…This has bothered me and whoever I asked, no one seemed to have an answer.…I just had to write you because now we all know the reason. The reason being stupidity and ignorance on the part of the American Public Health Association.” — John
“At Greece Olympia from 1965-1970 not only were we forced to swim nude but whenever (John Doe) gym teacher was in charge we had to bend over and he’d do what he called a ‘dingleberry check.’ Incredible, huh?…I have friends who can corroborate this insanity.” — Mark
“Your article brought memories I have suppressed from my Monroe High School gym/swimming classes. Class of 1962. As I wear glasses, which I had to remove, I was never able to find my required buddy amidst the blurry vision of naked flesh. The teachers were unsympathetic and total boors.” — Elliot
“Imagine being 12 years old and having to jump in the deep end for the first time without a bathing suit. This was actually scary. I think that we should start a class action lawsuit against the Rochester City School District. I now have PTSD because the gym teachers made me swim nude and you triggered that living nightmare.” — Dan
“I graduated from Franklin High School in 1961. That was standard procedure in our swimming gym classes also, as well as jumping off of the 10-foot diving platform. We still joke about it at reunions and get-togethers.” — Don
“In your piece, you omitted the worst part. We had to practice ‘life-saving jumps’ that was to jump into the water, body upright and legs spread in order to keep your head from going under and losing sight of the victim. OUCH!” — Tom
“Your article brought back an embarrassing memory from back in 1968, Eastridge High School. I wore glasses which I left in my locker for swim class. I thought one day was swim day, I stripped, showered, entered the pool and dove in. When I surfaced, I was surrounded by a bevy of giggling girls. Luckily, I was not recognized (without my glasses), but I always knew who the legendary ‘mystery pool streaker’ was!” — Ken
"I graduated from Charlotte High School in 1959 and can attest to the facts of your story. What I'm sure you know, but couldn't print is that when you came into the pool area from the shower room everyone was wet and cold, which has a great shrinking effect on certain parts of the anatomy!" — Richard
“The USA was not the only place where boys swam nude in high school pool classes. We here in Canada did also.…It was no big deal.…It was what you did. I miss the opportunity to be able to swim in the all together and often think that today’s youth are missing out on a unique experience.” — Mike, Medicine Hat, Alberta.
“Interesting article that brought up horrible memories. I went to Edison Tech. When I went in 1975 boys still had to swim nude. Half the time they just made us stand there for 10 minutes talking to us.” — Jim
“I graduated from Webster High School in 1964. I remember more than a couple times we got to the pool and there weren’t any swimsuits. So we went in without. It was no big deal. No one pointed or laughed. The world didn’t stop turning. It was pretty ‘matter of fact.’” — Doug
“At John Marshall HS back in the early ‘60s, (the coach) kept a rubber shower shoe in his hand during P.E. swim class and if you did not jump in he would whack your bare (bottom). We called it a ‘sunshine mark.’” — Gary
