I love this show but since when do old men swim naked in a public pool? Since when do public pools allow this? Since when do old guys swim naked with little kids? 

They probably don't allow it these days but they used to have nude swimming for males. I'm sure the boys would have to be related to one of the men.

The YMCA used to have naked swimming didn't they? Back in the day when people didn't freak out over such a thing.

I caught The Shallow End on TV. They cut the best part. After Theo dies he says "look at them, they don't seem too concerned" and they show his buddies laughing.

He wasn't naked...he was just wearing speedos which were super tight so you could see "everything"

I saw a Shelly Berman album at Goodwill that was recorded in the 1950s. 50 years later he's doing nude scenes? Too funny.

We have a group that has nude swims in public pools once a month. They rent the facility and there are no age restrictions. Nudity isn't sexual. They are really strict with that.
