I Hated Physical Education Class

I never minded P.E. at school especially swimming! our pool at school was an outdoor one (we're talking late sixties to early seventies here) and was shared with the local primary school. During the summer weather the primary school class secluded to use the pool often didn't turn up so we were free to use it instead! Those who hadn't got swimwear with them were allowed to swim in their P.E. kit if they wanted to; boys in their black cotton shorts and girls in their navy gym knickers and white t-shirts! we all loved it, but alas that sort of thing wouldn't be allowed in these politically correct days!!

I think I would have enjoyed PE if we had boys and girls swimming in their PE kit like you had!

@SW-User Yes I enjoyed it immensely and I know that many of the others (both boys and girls) did too."Forgetting" swimwear was something that happened often!

The rule these days seems to be no swimwear no swim!

@daniel4 When we were at school discipline was much stricter but somehow I think we were allowed to have more fun than kids do now.

@SW-User That's for sure. P.C. and health and safety get in the way of everything now unfortunately. You can't even fart these days without a risk assessment being done first!
