Slappo Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 Is it silly for a guy to wear a shirt when going swimming in a public place for purposes of modesty? I told my priest that I was waiting for my swim shirt to come in that I ordered to wear while swimming and he laughed at me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slappo Posted September 6, 2009 Author Share Posted September 6, 2009 Oh that part is easy... I'm the youth director at my church and I work in the rectory. I also live in the building right next to the rectory (I can see Fr.'s office and I think even bedroom from my kitchen window). He's a good friend and we use the same P.O box... I was talking to him about the different packages I was getting in the mail since he picks up the mail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zunshynn Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 (edited) I don't expect guys to wear a shirt while swimming, but I think it's something I might appreciate. Of course, I haven't been to a beach in 3 years... so... yeah. I don't know. But why WERE you talking to a priest about waiting for a swim shirt?

mcts Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 I don't find it strange, but I don't find it necessary. I appreciate it, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffpugh Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 Pat is a crazyman. Anywho, Slappo, that's fine. I sometimes wear one as to avoid questioning on why I'm so thin... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddington Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 I often wore one as a child to avoid sunburn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] No. I haven't gone swimming in coming up on five years, but I want to start again because it is good exercise and something I can do for activity in the winter (since the swimming pools are indoor). So I bought a swim shirt as now that I am more educated (and more handsome), I feel convicted to cover my upper body in front of women. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
