That's a brilliant story. Thanks for posting it. It's good that you showed the boys the joys of wet clothes and of not wearing conventional swimwear.
I'm frustrated that I never had such enjoyable activities with younger cousins or friends - or with older ones - in my teens, but I was too inhibited and hadn't found a way to enjoy getting wet openly.
I like the idea of wearing a long T-shirt on its own or nearly on its own (with as little as possible on under it), and swimming in it too. In ancient Rome this was standard daytime clothing - in the heat of the day you'd wear only a tunic (more or less a knee-length T-shirt), sandals, and usually a subligaculum (minimal underwear, a cloth pouch tied on with strings).
I recall once seeing a teenage boy with his mum waiting for a train - the boy was wearing a huge printed T-shirt (down to his knees) and trainers, and his legs were bare. He was basically wearing a tunic and it looked good. What was he wearing underneath, if anything? Eventually I spotted he had sports shorts on under his long T-shirt - they seemed to be unlined ones without underwear (no need for another layer when they were covered). I'm sure he would have enjoyed swimming in these clothes, but I've no idea if he ever did.
