The irony is, as rough as gym was overall, all the bodily harm, it was also the only class I ever had where avoiding bleeding was SPECIFICALLY brought up, as they were all paranoid about AIDS at the time. They taught us all to be very paranoid and run away screaming if we saw any blood…
I actually remember one year there was some blood on the floor from a previous class, and it looked weird and purple and shiny, I thought someone had spilled some sugary treat of some kind.
I remember in high school that we had to wear swim trunks or swim nude. No sitting out if you forgot to bring your trucks from home. And what grade is Lena in?
I support her choice.

And gym just got interesting for all the wrong reasons.
I now want to see Lena running a lap naked. LOL
Worth mentioning that the gym is named after the Greek word for naked
γυμνός (gymnós)

Finally, someone worse than Lenas parents.
