I will freely admit that kilts are not the best attire for every activity... Any industrial setting where protective clothing is required being the most obvious. Electing to wear a kilt swimming, certainly, is no less ridiculous than wearing any other kind of clothing while bathing. I just happen to believe that going kilted is the most desirable attire to adopt when clothing is necessary. I would much rather eschew textiles altogether; and, I've made a habit of doing so whenever such is practical; but, I admire the kilt greatly for its capacity to provide the greatest amount of freedom with social acceptance in the broadest variety of company and circumstances.
