Kids wanting to swim naked yay or nay?

My kids usually are in various states of undress which in the house is fine by me. However they have always wanted to take this outside which of course my husband and i disallowed due to neighbors. A days ago we have an 8 ft privacy fence put in to replace to chain link one we had. Well my kids jump in the pool sans clothes of course, and i freak a bit and make them go into house for swim suits. My kids and husband don't see what the big deal is now that we have the fence. I mean we still have neighbors but most of the yard including ours have a few medium sized trees of bushes that obscure any other view. Plus the back is towards woods so no houses there. Am i overeacting do you think?

My kids are not allowed outside naked.  Once they are potty trained they are always fully dressed inside as well

I think that's a little to old. If they were toddlers than sure but you just never know who could be watching.

definite nay. They are beyond old enough to know it's inappropriate. Jmo

That's what i pretty much think but they keep pointing out the height of the fence and the trees and the fact that they don't think anyone could see. Ugh i hate the dilema society has put on us that we need to be so protective becuase of the weirdos out there =\.

 I wouldn't allow it. Really young ones would probably pee in the pool lol, and any older than toddler is too old IMO.
