Yeah, there's some dude who goes to all the message boards and tries to convince people that men used to swim nude in mixed settings, even with audiences at swim meets and such, yearbook photos of nude male swim teams, etc. News clips and articles to back him up (all terribly photoshopped). It's nonsense, it never happened. He's obsessed with this line of deception, it's SUPER odd and very weird. He's been doing it for YEARS.
I don't know the person you're speaking of, but I know a guy in his late 80's early 90's who told me that in his high school swimming class all of the men had to swim nude. I see no reason for him to lie about it.

Sure, that happened. But they didn't swim in front of women nude and they didn't swim in tournaments nude with mixed audiences. And they didn't appear nude in high school yearbooks. That's the deception he's pushing. We all know men and boys swam nude in school and at the Y.
 
I've always wondered if this photo is real? What's the story behind it?
"For the next five years [Dean] was seldom far from a camera; if there was no one else to photograph him, he photographed himself. Usually the camera was held by another man, not always a professional. There is a photograph of Dean, stark naked, squatting in a tree above the photographer, knees apart, presenting with a radiant smile what appears to be a truly enormous erection. ... I saw this picture in an art gallery some time in the mid-1970s. What's become of it since, I don't know" From Germaine Greer, 'Mad about the Boy'
