Hi Firepoint!
In the 1960s and 70s, speedos were the primary swimwear of ocean lifeguards and experienced swimmers. However, in rough surf, you could easily lose your speedos. Many ocean lifeguards and male swimmers would take off their speedos and wear them around their neck, because they were less likely to lose them in the surf.
See lifeguard on the left in this link.
Today at nude or clothing optional beaches, the proportion of naked males is much higher than naked females. But in other environments where nudity is not authorized, a male could be arrested for stripping nude with a female being the complainant.
Many claim that these co-ed vintage photos showing both sexes are photo-shopped. However, a number of men that swam competitively in school, said that females were present as spectators during swim meets and they continued to swim naked.

Would you become a digambara or a sadhu? Do you see many of them?
Hey NDB,
At some places in the USA, you can get arrested for swimming naked. In India, where is it allowed? Ponds and streams in wooded areas? Public pools?

It's true that there are fewer places for boys to be naked. In locker rooms, most change under a towel. At one time, boys were required to swim naked at indoor pools.

How do you feel if this practice were revived on certain days. Would you participate? Please take my survey.

Most of those who took the survey do skinny dip. However, much fewer were willing to skinny dip with family. At one time, it was mandatory for males to swim at indoor pools naked.
