was she by any chance a victim of lev tahor cult? They made children wear black socks all the time and the children developed awful fungal infections and other conditions caused by poor foot hygiene.

I think that the person that made the comment may just be ignorant when it comes to Halacha. She may have been brought up with the false belief that a baby without socks is I tznius. I went to sleep away camp and a girl my age (age 17) gave me a whole speech how wrong it is that I go to sleep without wearing socks on my feet. She truly believed that I was obligated to wear socks to sleep. I was too intimidated to question it so I just wore socks. But deep down it didn't sit right with me. That’s when I asked someone who told me that there was nothing wrong with me going to sleep without socks in my feet.
In Yiddishkeit, when something doesn’t sit right with you , you need to ask until you feel comfortable with the answer. So you did the right thing by coming here to ask.

What type of socks did she swim in?
