Yom Shlishi Beshabas, Parshas Vayach 10:48, we are talking about the difference between sisters and daughters, etc.
But it's important to know that even regarding a sister or a mother, something so technically a mokim mechusa technically is mutar for a person to see if there's no, if it's an erva that there's no ta'ava for.
But like for example here, there's no asur to see a sister is here if she's married.
But something which is a, a real erva, for example, the thigh or something like that, that would be, uh, an, that would be asur.
So therefore it would be also asur to go swimming with her sister if she's not wearing a coverup because of the-- even though technically a mokim is mechusin, covered places do not necessarily apply to close arius that don't have a natural desire.
But lamaiso, when it comes to something that's considered a real erva, the chest, etc., something like that, that would be considered a, that would be asur, and therefore the example would be going swimming or something like that.
It would be asur for a brother or even a father to see that.
Regarding chil- regarding children going swimming with parents, let's say, uh, the boy wants to go swimming with his mother.
So the general minhag is till five years old, generally.
Usually, if we, if we assume he's not gonna remember what he saw, we allow them to go.
Some say three.
Well, the standard minhag is to be make up more than three.
But it's important to keep that in mind that i-if a child is old enough to remember, and some say the age is five, standard the, the number would be five.
Once a child is five years old, a m- his mother should not take him, uh, swimming with women because of the problem of his takalas in the mokim asurim.
