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?

I dont see anything wrong with it, as long as you have privacy from the neighbors.

If there are swim suits available, I would make them wear them. We allow swimming naked if theres nothing else available.

As long as they are fine with it then let them. My 3 kids still swim naked.

No way. I even teach modesty in the house.

No, not unless you were a lot more isolated or lived in a nudist colony. A swimsuit is not that much to wear.

Personally, I think you are overreacting. THere is absolutely nothing wrong with nudity. It's not like anyone can see them.

let them be free.. tell them they must be dressed if anyone else comes over.  have robes for them to put on when they get out...it's great that they are comfortable with their body.  You keep an eye out for creepers so there vshouldn't be a problem.
