...Another searing Pasadena afternoon, you need a break from staring at
your terminal, so you pop over to the pool, pay $0.25 for a towel, and take
a cool, refreshing... Hey, wait, you didn't take a swimsuit to work, you're
out of luck!  Back to work, bozo! (*)

I'd like to convince the Athletic Director to post some swimsuit-optional
hours at the pool (e.g. 12-1 each day?); is anyone else interested?  (e.g.
any European women tired of having to wear tops?)  Email me and I'll
collect suggestions and signatures.  Of course you could still wear a suit
if you wanted, but those who can't stand the sight of (*gasp*) top-free or
nude folks would have to avoid these times.

I'm told many pools (e.g. MIT, YMCA's) were once nudity-mandatory, back in
the days when they were single-sex (something to do with lint in the
filters).  Berkeley has 2 permanent clothing-optional sundecks (1 coed, 1
female only), but no swimming.  Anyone know what other schools do?

(*) Actually it's still useful to have a padlock around so your wallet
won't get stolen.  Maybe we can get padlock loans, too, as at Berkeley.
