Pools are gross

That's what I meant...all pools.

The old people at the pool might actually go swimming and not just HANG out in the locker room

Less worried about bladder since most (I am assuming) people have peed in the pool...

It's the kids who can't control their bowels that I'm more worried about...

You're telling me you never wedgied yourself or went bare bum down the slide?
OMG WAAAAYYYY faster!

I guess I haven't swam in a public pool in a while but when I was younger I don't recall them getting closed too often for that problem.

Many parents put swim diapers on their young child...

Not sure if they're allowing swim diapers at naked swim...

It actually says on the website to wear as little as you're comfortable to ease into it. I'm sure they won't mind swim diapers if someone is okay with their kids going to something like this.

Didn't bother reading the website fully...

That doesn't seem too bad then.

I think that one CP'er should make a personal sacrifice and go to this and give us all the details and pertinent stats.

Not it! I nominate Locke. Good with numbers and such.

I suspect that the pool’s normal policy for swim diapers would still be in effect. I don’t know about that pool specifically, but most pools’ policies are something like everyone under 3 must wear a swim diaper.

Let's see, yes, a quorum has been achieved.

Motion passed.

It is official as I am a law-talking guys.

Locke get your swimsuit ready... or not. Do you have a swim diaper maybe?

Due to the media coverage and size of the group, the nude policy has been changed. For men nudity is required. Women are required to be topless at minimum, or naked should they choose. Other genders need to determine whats appropriate for themselves.

Does this make sense to anyone? I can't say I really 'get' nudism, but I give the benefit of the doubt when they talk about it being natural and body-positive. However, when they talk about mandatory nudity, I can't help but feel icky about the whole thing. Probably they are worried about non-participating observers, but the phrasing just makes it seem creepy.

I'd hate to be one of the few/only women who show up, only to be told "You know the rules. Topless, at a minimum ."

[CampbellsTransgressions]

Now imagine you run into your coworker down there

Yeah, I'm not european.

Maybe don't go to a nude event if you don't want to be nude?

[CliffFletcher]

I have to confess, I don't really get nudism either. I get that it's probably nice to walk around naked outdoors at a beach or something. I don't think it's indecent. But I don't get why they have clubs and organized activities, like hanging around naked with other people is some kind of a hobby.

[Cecil Terwilliger]

I’m totally against this.

It’ll make it way harder to pee in the pool without my bathing suit disguising the stream. Doing it naked I’m just some jackass taking a piss in the pool. Not cool.

So all that has to happen is for a woman to ask they remove someone and he's kicked out. For better or worse.

Long line for the slide though and you're female? Just have everyone kicked out

This is the part of the event that actually bothers me. Seems incredibly arbitrary. I can see maybe giving the lifeguards that kind of power, but any woman at the event whatsoever? Seems a bit much.

So, are caulk rings cool then?

Yeah, I mean it’s at a pool. If you are going to insist on wearing a bathing suit, then you are not really participating and it’s no different than going to the pool during regular hours.
