* * * * *The cheap ticket by Jamie
From
the 1950s - “I learnt to swim at the baths, teacher lined us up at the
pool edge, jump in and grab the side! That worked. I do remember the
two penny nude, and there was always a group of girls spectating from
the door.”
The Tadcaster Road baths added a new
category to its ticket prices in the summer season. The new prices for
this wonderful old Victorian baths were as follows:
Adults 15
Senior citizens 10
Young people aged 14 - 17 9
Children. Under 14 5
Boys 11 and under (nude) 3 NEW ( previously was for under 5s )
Family ticket (boys under 11 nude) 20
Boys over 14 (pre puberty nude) 3 NEW
Children under 14 must be accompanied by an adult.
There were 3 pools in the complex , Pool 1 one for adults only, Pool 2
a larger one aimed at principally proper swimming and Pool 3 a
relaxation leisure pool with a couple of slides. There were male and
female changing rooms and a bath wash house where Victorian baths were
available private and communal.
The weekends were always
busy with familiez and groups of young people enjoying the facility
especially on cold winter days when the lovely warm waters were such a
draw. It was quite common to see a family swimming together, mum dad
and children with younger boys naked. Many parents took advantage of
the reduced price for boys under 11 if they swam nude. These boys
didn’t tend to object at that age and the girls enjoyed seeing the
little boys running about naked. A good education on the male anatomy.
The inclusion of a new ticket line caused a stir amongst the boys and
girls of the local school. Would any boy qualify, and would he be brave
enough to take advantage of the ticket, a saving of 6, meaning he could
swim 3 times for the price of 1 normal ticket. But that discount came
at a price!
Andrew was a quiet lad who lived in the
neighbouring town and attended his local school. He loved swimming and
was quite good being on the swim team. He was 14 slim, a good upper
body strength but he hadn’t yet started puberty much to his frustration
and disappointment.
He usually swam in his local pool but it
was costly. As he read in the paper about the Tadcaster Road baths he
realised that it would save him a lot of his pocket money and he could
easily cycle there. And just as importantly it be unlikely anyone from
his school would be there. He thought long and hard about it and
decided to give it a go. If he didn’t like it then it would only have
cost him 3 and had never have go back. What poor Andrew didn’t know was
that a group of girls from his class had decided to also make the trip
over as the chance to look at naked boys sounded wonderful. Their
school had a teacher training day on Friday so he thought he’d try out
the baths when there would few other kids around.
Friday
morning came and Andrew hopped on his bike in the early morning sun and
rode the 3 miles down to the Tadcaster Road baths on the edge of the
neighbouring town. He got there just after 10am. Andrew locked his
bike, grabbed his backpack which contained only his towel and wash
stuff ,no trunks. He was 14 but still a boy with a high voice. He took
a deep breath telling himself it would be ok and walked up the steps
and into the grand entrance hall where the ticket office was .
" Good morning young man" said the older lady behind e desk. " Here for a swim? No school today? "
" We’ve got a teacher training day so I thought I’d come fir a swim. He paused.
“Great what ticket do you need? How odd are you? Which pool?”
“I’m 14, can I have a reduced ticket please. For Pool 3 please.” He was
blushing as he said it, his voice a little higher than usual
“Of course you can. You understand the rules though, no trunks.”
He nodded over his money and was given a red wristband . “The male
changing rooms are to your right and the 3 pools are clearly signposted
once inside. The lockers all have keys which you can attached to your
wristband. Remember to have a shower before swimming. Enjoy your visit.”
He thanked her and turned to the right and as he walked away he heard
the lady turned to her colleague and say " first nude teen of the day
Dorothy! "
He blushed again as he pushed the door and
entered the male changing room. Inside he couldn’t see any kids his
age, but a few retired gents were getting changed and a few younger
guys who looked like serious swimmers. . It was relatively quiet as you
would expect on a Friday morning.
He chose a locker and
started to get undressed, an older gentleman was nearby and said hello.
He was there with his grandson who looked about 5.
He put
his backpack in the locker took off his coat and then his clothes until
he was down to his underpants. Andrew was now at the point he feared,
could he undress completely and then go out there naked! He seemed
frozen to the spot .
“Are you alright son?” He was now in
his swimming gear with his naked grandson next to him wearing arm bands
eager to go for his swim
“Yes thanks it’s just that...” Andrew found it difficult to continue his sentence...
The man nodded, "have you one of the new tickets! He asked gently realising the situation. Andrew nodded.
“Look there is nothing to worry about , everyone is used to boys being
naked here,. Come on off with those pants and go and enjoy yourself. It
will be fine” he said patting the boy on the shoulder.
Andrew took a deep breath and pulled off his pants, threw them in the
locker, grabbed his towel and locked it . The naked teen was about 5ft
tall, still small and he was as expected completely hairless his willy
was about 5 cms considerably smaller than you’d expect for a 14 year
old and it looked more like a 10 year olds.
He walked over
to the showers and then down the corridor to pool 3 following the
grandpas and excited little boy. As they reached the entrance the man
said “you can join us if you’d like.” Andrew nodded gratefully as they
entered the pool area which was thankfully not that busy.
There were about 15 people there, a few mums and toddlers and a few
older people having a relaxing swim. They walked own to the shallow
where there was an older lady and a young woman. The little boy walked
ahead calling Mummy and Granny. Andrew followed with the Grandpa.
He asked Andrew his name and introduced him to his wife and daughter.
The ladies looked up at the naked teen taking in his nudity with
approving looks.
“First time here at Tadcaster road?” He nodded “no school today, we’ve got a training day . I go to Larcombe School. “
“Andrew thought he’d try out the new ticket seeing as he qualified, looks a bargain to me “ said Grandpa.
His wife agreed, “little boys shouldn’t worry about being naked, enjoy
the freedom Andrew while you can, you look fine, nothing to be ashamed
off.”
He got in the water and now hidden relaxed and started
to swim a few lengths . After a while he needed a rest and rejoined the
family. He was feeling a little more comfortable and was actually
standing on the side of the pool showing the little boy Jonathan how to
jump in the pool.
Meanwhile at the front desk three girls
from Andrews year had had the same idea about trying out the swimming
pool to see what naked boys there might be on display. Grace, Molly and
Nicky were excited by the prospects of seeing naked boys. At the desk
there was a small queue and they noted that there were a few mums with
girls and boys under 11. Apparently one of the towns primary schools
also had a teacher training day as well.
The receptionist
asked them where they were from and after explaining she told them that
a boy from their school was already there.
They paid their
entry fee and were soon changing into their one piece swimming costumes
speculating who it might be. As they entered the pool almost
immediately they caught sight of Andrew at the far end. Grace said “
look there’s Andrew and he’s naked!”
“Oh my god he really is, this is amazing!” said Molly
They casually walked down the side of the pool quietly taking in the
now busier and nosier surroundings and reached the family before Andrew
even noticed them.
“Hello Andrew fancy meeting you here” said Grace.
Poor Andrew looked up as he stood on the side holding little Jonathan's
hand ready to jump in with him. His face blushed and the adults quickly
realised what was going on. The poor boy felt so embarrassed.
“Errr hello” he stammered. Jonathon’s mum took charge. “Hello girls ,
I’m Sandra and these are my parents and my little boy Jonathan. Andrew
is helping him get used to jumping in the pool, he’s such a helpful
boy. Do you all go the same school?”
The girls smiled “yes we do Andrew’s in our class.”
“Well isn’t that great Andrew you can enjoy the pool with your friends. But first I think Jonathan wants to jump in again.”
“Yes please come on Andrew” said the little boy
Andrew said “ok after 3. 1, 2 3” and they jumped in their little
willies flying up and down as they lept into the pool. Jonathan giggled
in excitement. Andrew swam back to the side and got out without
thinking then instantly regretted that action as he now stood next to
the girls wet and naked.
“You run along Andrew and have fun with your friends. Catch you later thanks for helping Jonathan.”
Grace took hold of Andrews hand and said let’s try the slides and led
the poor boy away up the side of the pool to the stairs to the top of
the 2 slides. They stood at the top all by themselves looking down at
the pool. There were by now quite a few naked boys but none Andrews
age. Andrew was still embarrassed that his class mates had seen his
willy but there was nothing he could do about it.
“Don’t
worry about being naked Andrew you look great. We like it don’t we
girls. It’s a very cute willy.” “But..” He started but couldn’t finish
“But nothing Andrew, we all know you havent stayed puberty yet because
your voice hasn’t broken, so its not a surprise your willy is like this
still. It’s quite long though” said Nicky who had a ten year old
brother, “my brothers is tiny.”
Poor Andree didn’t know what
to say as the girls discussed his willy size, God this was embarrassing
, why did he do this, he thought to himself. They decided to race down
the 2 slides in pairs Grace and Andrew versus Molly and Nicky?
They agreed and Grace pushed Andrew in front of her and put her arms
round his waist, “on your marks get set go” and the pairs slid down the
twist slides, Grace’s hands firmly clamped around Andrew’s willy! They
landed with a big splash. They were all laughing and did it 2 more
times, so each of the girls could slide down with Andrew. He enjoyed
them touching his willy and by the third time it was sticking up.
“Oh you’ve got a little stiffie” giggled Nicky, “my brother gets those
when I give him his bath! He is very proud of it. I like yours Andrew.”
The boy didn’t know where to look to be proud or feel humiliated, it
was a range of emotions sweeping through him especially as he knew
there was no way of hiding his situation. The group started to swim and
he was soon able to relax safely in the water. About 20 minutes later
the lady from the reception desk entered the pool with a young smartly
dressed woman and they spoke to one of the life guards.
The
young lifeguard who was a girl aged about 18 dressed in regulation red
and yellow shorts and t shirt nodded and walked towards the kids. She
blew her whistle and signalled for them to come over and get out of the
pool.
So now Andrew stood there naked with the girls and the
lifeguard, the reception lady and another lady. One naked 14 year old
boy with 6 females!
“Hello again” said the reception lady
who turned out to be the duty manager. “I hope you are enjoying
yourselves. This lady is from the Daily Comet paper, (the local
newspaper,) and is doing an article on our new tickets. We wanted to
get a photo for the paper to promote the reduced price tickets for
boys. As our very first customer we hoped you might agree to be in the
picture. As an incentive we are offering you a whole months free pass
as our pioneer nude boy customer.”
“Gosh how exciting Andrew” said Grace. “Thats brilliant.”
Andrew wasn’t so sure, everyone would see his willy but a free months
swimming would save him a lot of money. “This a great idea” said Molly
and the girds encouraged him to say yes.
“Oh ok” then he said reluctantly.
The lady from the Comet said “excellent. Let’s try a few pictures of
you on your own and then one with the girls.” So there was Andrew his
back to the pool smiling for the camera, naked as the day he was born,
one sitting on the edge and the last in the water arms resting on the
side. The next few was a group shot with the girls around him and then
finally shaking hands with the manager Mrs Martin with her passing a
voucher pass to him. The journalist took all their names and thanking
them said it will be in the paper on Monday.
It all happened so quickly that little did Andrew realise the exposure he was about to get …..
