Fairy_Lu agony auntYeah its a little strange but maybe his parents just like to go swimming and dont get the oppurtunity very often, as long as you werent planning on having sex in the pool dont worry about it

TasteofIndia agony auntMaybe a little strange, but not TOO out there. Maybe they really enjoy swimming and they swim as a family on holidays. It could be a great way to get to know his family and have fun together. Perhaps you could even invite YOUR family and you could make it a whole family affair.

Just make sure you don't wear anything too outrageous, seeing as his family will be present. Save the really skimpy stuff for when it's just the two of you!!

Enjoy, sweetness!

Yes I agree this is unusual and I would monitor how often he gets his parents involved in any other things you do - is he feeling insecure? It might be that he's not really that grown up but time will tell. In the meantime I guess you just need to go along and find out what the deal is?!

brooke5426 agony auntto be honest it sounds a bit unusual but not srange. What i mean is for being 18 years old its not very common for someone to want to take their parents along to something which is a kind of date, i mean its not like you're kids and need a chaperone of some sort. but at the same time maybe he just wants you to get to know his parents better and bond with them a bit more. its not the weirdest thing i've heard of and depending what his parents are like it could be a lot of fun!
