This curtain-twitching maniac is off her nut.
PARENTS are refusing to let their children swim in Levenshulme baths - because it's being hired for naked male swimming sessions.
Over the past nine months the pool has been hired out on a Thursday evening for private naturist group Naked Swim.
The group hires one of the two pools and is given use of the saunas, while regular public adults-only swimming takes place in the second pool.
But now local mums have learned about the sessions, some want them stopped.
They say it is inappropriate that people are bathing in the nude in a public pool.
Manchester Council has moved to reassure people that the sessions pose no hygiene or privacy risk but some mums are so concerned that they have pulled their children out of swimming lessons at the baths in protest.
Complained
One, Elaine Howarth, told the M.E.N she had complained to staff at the swimming pool, but was told they could not see what the fuss was about.
"I'm all for people having their own get-togethers, but why do they have to be naked? It just doesn't seem right," she said.
"All the local schools use the baths for their swimming lessons but most of the mothers I've been speaking to are now not going to allow their children to go anymore. It's horrible to think about."
Another mother, Lynne Mills, said she had pulled her son out of his lessons after learning what was going on. She is now considering using another pool.
She said: "I thought this was a joke when I first heard about it. This is a community pool that is used by OAP sessions and children. I am concerned about the hygiene aspect - they don't let children in pools without wearing clothes, so why should it be different for adults?
