Would you wear a swim suit around coworkers?

And your male boss?

I know it's perfectly normal to be around strangers in a swim suit, but you are kind of almost NAKED.  It even creeps me out to be around male family members in a suit.  My dad or brother I don't care about, but my FIL or uncles, that's weird to me.

I think I am going to "forget" to bring something to swim in to this event.

Re: Would you wear a swim suit around coworkers?

  • I had this discussion a few weeks ago. I would sooner die.

  • Oh Christ no.

    But, I am also extremely self-conscious.Maybe if I was hot, I wouldn't mind as much.

  • Not a chance.  Then again, the party I'm going to this weekend is a pool party and I don't plan on bringing a suit to that either.  I didn't bring one to FL.  I don't like to assault people with my pasty doughlike body.

  • I thought I was overly pearl-clutchy about this.  Thanks for validating me.

    I think if I was skinny I would be even less likely to wear a suit in front of male coworkers.  Well, non-gay ones.  I wouldn't want them thinking about my awesome abs and tight little ass, if I had such things.

  • ugh, we have a picnic/water event for my firm next weekend.  I would be okay wearing a swimsuit if everyone else was, but the idea doesn't thrill me.  And I have the world's largest knockers, so I would have to wear my most conservative swimsuit.

     

  • Not a chance. I might do it under shorts and a tshirt if everyone was going to be doing water-related activities and I thought I might regret sitting it out. But no one would see my suit.

    The only time I have was when my very small, female-only department would go to the beach for our yearly "retreat." Even then, I think I kept shorts on.

  • I went fake whitewater rafting (like a practice loop) with some of my co-workers, so they not only saw me in a bathing suit.  They also saw me awkwardly putting on a wet suit.  And German changing rooms (no stalls) meant the ladies saw each other as nude as Cali's cupcake.

    But my boss wasn't there.  I did go to a pool party at my boss's house last summer and the only people who swam were 5 and under.  I would almost definitely not go swimming with co-workers unless it was a special situation.

  • I'm glad we have things like "video game day" and not "get half naked in front of your co-workers" day.

    This is precisely why I will never, ever join a work gym.

  • No. Every year Mike and I both get invited to a pool party for a work project we both have a connection to. Every year we go fully clothed.

  • I certainly would not, and I'm always surprised at how many people are ok with it. I went on a cruise a friends employer paid for in April and I was shocked at how many people were ok sitting around in bikinis, getting drunk and chain smoking with their co-workers and bosses all weekend.

    I don't know why, but I am totally picturing Mr. Mom.

    Has Mike ever borrowed anybody's gym clothes so that he can run the obstacle course where he rides a tricycle and guzzles beers?

  • No. Never ever.

  • Frankly, I'm no picnic fully clothed so, no way. I'm glad I work at a company that never does anything together.

  • No, never. I go to the summer cookout they have at a hotel fully clothed. I also feel awkward at family get together's too.
  • Apparently I have low standards, because I would and have.  I often go for a swim when on travel and various coworkers do too.  I guess my BOSS has never been there, but I don't think that would change it.  

    We're not talking bikini's here, because well, nobody wants to see that anyhow.  I don't own a swimsuit that's not conservative and one piece.

  • I have in the past, although I was in my early 20's.  My boss had us out on his boat to go wakeboarding and tubing as a teambuilder.  That started my wakeboarding addiction, and I became a fixture on his boat.

    Of course, I ended up sleeping with him. 

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    (Relax, at that point, he was no longer my boss or even working for the same company.)

  • well, the Securities Traders Association Conference is in Boca Raton everyear.  We were all required to attend at least three days of the five day "conference"

     

    First year, I felt a bit awkard, after that it was fine.

    Odd one out here.  I totally would.  And have.

    We belong to our town pool and mh thinks it's weird to be in a bathing suit around our neighbors.

    All I care is maximum tanning exposure.  And since my other jobs mostly revolved around tanning and there were always people wearing much less than my bathing suit around, I never thought much about it.

    If part of the job is going to a water related activity, then I'd assume being fully "immersed" in the activity would be part of being considered a "team player", no?  I wouldn't wear a string bikini, but I would wear a more conservative bathing suit than I'd normally wear.

  • With current sized knockers - no way in hell. After the reduction - perhaps.

    Now does anyone's answer change if it is not their work party but rather their spouses work?

    This is the main reason I didn't joint the courthouse gym while clerking.  I don't think I could handle naked judges.
