Wetlook World Forum

The setting was a university/college, I think, and one of the requirements of graduation was to swim so many lengths of the pool. This much is true, as some US universities really do have this requirement. (Good thing mine did not, as I can’t swim. Ironic eh …)

Anyway, as the story goes, if you did not participate or pass or something by the deadline, you were compelled to enter the water fully clothed, with whatever you had with you at the time. When I read it, I was not sure whether it was supposed to be true or not, and whether it was a reflection of a genuine culture of humiliation (which would be disturbing), or whether the author enjoyed humiliation and embellished the reality with an added twist to make the story more interesting to him.

Perhaps someone else remembers this story.
