Being a good little PK, driven by hormones at the age of 14, my buddies and I would jump up and peek over the wall and watch the girls strip down to put their suit on and then again to put their clothes back on. What a great idea to enforce modesty. NOT!!!!!!!!!!!! Hey. That is what 14 yo boys are going to do if they can. It is an age of intense hormone driven curiosity. And it is entirely possible that some of the girls were peeking over at the boys as well if they could.
I am not saying it is right or good, just reality. Most young folk do not have the maturity to redemptively deal with those urges.

Swimming with long hair and nails while drinking and getting a massage listening to "jungle-beat" rock music.
Definitely.
Shoot them.
Oh, wait, is that a sin?
If it is at all enjoyable, it is a sin. There. That should end the whole "Is ----- a sin?" thread stuff.
Good grief, talk about straining gnats.
LET IT GO PEOPLE!!!!
I just about fell out of my chair laughing

I have never thought swimming with people of the opposite sex is sinful. Now I am just too embarrased to be seen in my bathing suit by the opposite sex!

I can't believe this thread suggests we actually swim in water, much less around each other.
Don't you people know that water is for cleaning and baptism purposes only. 
and you guys call yourself Christians

Seriously...our culture is so sex obsessed, we have it on the brain and everything we see or do seems to relate back to that.
It's just swimming! It's swinging from a rope on a tree over a river or lake. It's hanging out with friends and family during a picnic near the river. It's a pool full of kids and parents splashing around and laughing.
If the bathing suits are modest and they reflect the true modesty of the wearer's heart...then anyone offended may need to check their own heart issues.

as someone who is blessed to have a pool in my backyard I certainly don't think swimming is a sin,even if boys and girls swim together.
I also don't have any problem swimming at the beach.I refuse to wear a bikini though and love tankinis and boy shorts.

Oh I so agree with this statement! Here's a slightly interesting story: my brother was recently in the area with his two girls 11 and 3. I have two boys 11 and 8. My 8 year old son was in a bedroom (state room to be exact) with my 11 year old niece. When my brother found out about this, he went balistic. Said it was completely inappropriate for them to be 'alone together' as 'something' could 'happen'. *sigh* I don't know about him, but I talk to my boys all the time about girls and dating, and what God wants for us.
It doesn't matter if someone is in a string bikini or a jogging suit while swimming; if someone is going to lust, they're going to lust and there's nothing we can do about it except keep ourselves as modest as possible and respect those around us.

I used to wear bikinis when I was young. I shudder thinking about it now, looking back. I have three daughters, and their bikinis, are very modest, Boy Shorts, and tank-top things. I will never, as long as a breath is in my body let my girls wear those vulgar bikinis, that I would wear in younger days. My point is, that swiming is not sinful as long, as people are dressed both male and female, in appropriate wares. BTW, I may sound like a hypocrite, doing what I did when I was young, but hey what they do not know, will not hurt them, but help them.

That's not hypocrisy. That is learning and growing in Christ!

I would go swimsuit less. then when I get done swimming, I can dry off and put my dry clothing back on. No need to worry about a wet dripping swimsuit that would get moldy

Old men in speedos are gross...but not necesarily sin.
LOL....I was married on a beach....and the first thing I saw as I walked down the beach to meet my husband was an old man in a speedo. An unfortunate thing I will never forget about my wedding!
I wear a bathing suit that has the boy cut shorts and a tank top so really you see my arms and legs.
I don't see this as a sin issue, but I've seen someone in my church wear very immodest bathing suits and I think that is an issue that should be talked about.

I posted in another thread the genius of my church camp directors.
We had two pools. One for the girls, one for the boys. There was a cinder block wall dividing the two. They decided to build a changing area at the pool for modesty reasons. They build it at the wall between the two pools and left about a 3 foot gap between the top of the wall and the peak of the roof.
Being a good little PK, driven by hormones at the age of 14, my buddies and I would jump up and peek over the wall and watch the girls strip down to put their suit on and then again to put their clothes back on. What a great idea to enforce modesty. NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love it, You are a sinning, lust filled, rule breaking, rebellious, little snot of a teen; and you want to bleme the camp rules. How typical of the devil.
Thanks

How can you even think about swimming!? Much less with the opposite sex. If you do feel the urge to sin by swimming at least wear this http://www.wholesomewear.com/
Honestly people. This is a culture issue. Not a sin issue. In America it is appropriate to wear a swim suit. In some countries it is appropriate to swim nude. It doesn't matter. I think a lot of this is people showing off by "who can be the most modest". Get over yourselves.
