[Avodah] When does mixed swimming mean?

[Rich, Joel]

Actually the addition of water seems to add quite a bit to it all.

See the last page of Gittin [90b]: 
"Middas adam ra sheroeh es ishto...verochetzes im bnei adam."

"Im bnei adam salka daatach!?"

[Peirush Rashi: "Im kein raglayim ledavar shezonah hi, ve'asurah lo".

Tosfos: "Afilu adam ra eino sovel zeh me'ishto...afilu kala shebekalos
eino oseh ken.."]

"Ela bemakom shebnei adam rochtzin - zu mitzva min haTorah legarsho"

No issur of mixed swimming!? My foot!!

PS: The SR zt'l once said pshat in "Im bnei adam salka daatach!?"
- How can you call persons who engage in mixed swimming "bnei adam" ??

 ==============================================
Vrochetz means to swim? One might posit that mixed sponge bathing or
microwave cleaning would be assur due to the bodily contortions involved
in cleaning one's body, not the medium of water.
