Australia is famous for its beautiful beaches. And Australian people love swimming and going to the beach.
But it wasn't always that way.
Different Climate, Different Habits
When Europeans first invaded Australia, the only people here who were good at swimming were the
Aboriginal people. The Europeans came from climates where it was too cold to swim. However the warm
climate of Australia soon changed their attitude to swimming. At first, only men swam. They swam without
any clothes on-there were no women to see them.
Cover up!
By the 1880 and 1890s visiting the beach was very fashionable. People wore everyday street clothes-much
more than people wear at the beach today.
In those days people believed they should cover their most body so it would not be seen by the opposite
sex. Special bathing costumes were designed for women. This costumes used a lot of cloth and were very
heavy when wet, making it difficult to swim.
Laws Made and Laws Changed
The government decided to stop men swimming naked. It passed a law which forbade bathing between 6
am and 7 am. But in 1903, the laws changed; people could swim in the daytime, but they had to wear
neck-to-knee costumes.
The Shrinking Costume
As time passed, swimming costumes became smaller and more convenient.
At first men and women were covered from neck to knee. Then arms became bare. Then more of the legs
were uncovered. Each new change was regarded by many as shocking and rude and people wrote letters to
the newspapers complaining about the new costume. Nowadays some people go to special"nude beaches" to
swim naked.
However, most people cover their bodies more than they did ten years ago-not because they think bare
skin is shocking-but to protect their skin from the harmful rays of the sun.
