Young Man’s Swimsuit Too Distracting For Female Leaders
“I know he doesn’t come to activities very much, but that’s no excuse,” says camp director Dallin Ballard. “We give all the young men a list beforehand that clearly says swimsuits should be knee-length and the fabric shouldn’t be tight enough to show any visible bulge. His swimsuit didn’t meet either of those standards.”
Ballard was heard to note privately that the offending swimsuit “might even be modest on the right person” but would be too distracting on this boy’s body, as other leaders glanced at the boy and nodded in agreement.
Onlookers say the relief society leader supervising the week’s activities first noticed the swimsuit and nudged the boy’s leaders to say something. He was eventually allowed to join his friends swimming once he put on a pair of jeans the leaders gave him.
“You young men have a profound influence on the women around you,” the second counselor in the relief society was sharing with the entire group at press time. “The way you dress will determine whether the women in your life use their agency to master their impulses and become righteous mothers in Zion or surrender to sin and become throbbing prisoners to their own libidos.”
