Of course they must wear something during their swimming lessons and tests, lets hope it's something brief.

Why do you say "of course"?
When I entered the University of Colorado, all freshman had to pass a swimming test. Allegedly, their ancient pool filters clogged easily, so they demanded the test be done in either a Speedo or totally nude. A couple guys showed up in jockstraps and were required to take them off before swimming.

Funny thing is that swimming was the only thing they tested. It didn't seem to matter if you could add & subtract, or speak English, but you had to be able to swim.
