Does your community pool have a dress code?

We go to Kenmont and I have not noticed this.

I am envious of how beautiful all the teen girls are now that I am middle aged but I haven't noticed any of them in a thong!

The swimmers wear neck to knee suits. The handball and volleyball women protested about being forced into bikinis while the men wore t shirts and long shorts. Some gymnasts are wearing leggings particularly after the scandals of recent years. Some track athletes were protesting the skimpy running gear.

The worst pool for dress code is the Volta pool in Georgetown. College girls in things and weird leathery European men in tiny Speedo’s.

I’ll buy that women (and leathery European men) have the right to wear what they want and not be judged or ogled… in theory. But a lot of it, especially at Volta feels VERY performative. A portion of these people are there to be seen and display themselves, and not specifically in a flasher kind of way, but they are full aware of how edgy their choice in apparel is.

And before I got moralized and shamed, I don’t even mind particularly if you do that - at a resort, at a beach, at a pool party… but sorry my 6yo doesn’t need to see your French speedo and we’re trying very hard to raise oir 11yo son with the understanding that women aren’t Barbie’s…

People should celebrate their bodies and feel comfortable and all that but in shared spaces you should be cognizant of other people. Babies shouldn’t be allowed to poop in pools and kids shouldn’t invade the lanes where people are doing laps and horny adults shouldn’t be using public pools for wowing the crowd.

TLDR, there are swimsuits that are skimpier than I would wear and that’s okay and there are swimsuits that are designed to be eye catching. Respect the audience.

More people on the internet were upset about the olympics outfits than the athletes.

The point is that some non-barbie girls want to wear bikinis too. Does that not show children that women arent barbies? That anyone should feel comfortable with their body and able to swim in peace?

Which is why I said people should be comfortable and I can accept that my definition of what is appropriate isn't necessarily what everyone should do, but not everything in the mind of vaping 20yo in a thong who has aspirations of being an Instagram sensation is appropriate for children. In fact, a lot of it is extremely demeaning to women... want to demean yourself on instagram or swing your Speedo in your backyard jacuzzi with your friends from the tanning salon? Go for it... but skip the public pool at school dismissal time.

Again and again, Americans prove my point of being prudes! Kids don't care unless you MAKE IT WEIRD.

Instagram and TikTok have made things weird.

The 20yo vaping and trying to vamp for the fraternity boys across the pool where my kids are learning to swim are making things weird. 20yos try to seduce each other all the time, and that's not normal, but you'd find it weird if they did it at a playground. A public pool after school is a playground. Save it for the bar or your frat's pool party.

Woman here. You can't tell ppl to stop ogling women's bodies while strutting around in string bikinis--which screams "look at me!"

Not everything is about you. String bikinis are not "sceaming look at me". They are say... hey I want a tan with very few lines.

Some are saying that. But you are very naive if you believe that a lot of them are not designed to be sexually attractive.

So you're not only dictating what women can wear, but at what time they can wear it?

No it’s not a playground. It’s a public park. There are old folk having chess tournaments and 20yos flirting and kids being hyper and toddlers screaming. You have no more right to tell the 20yos to dress differently than they have the right to telling my excited 4yo to shut up. It’s a shared space and everyone is using is for their own purposes.

And your 11yo can learn that girls aren’t Barbies if you teach him that girls (even girls in skimpy bikinis) are people with feelings and emotions and opinions too. In fact your posts sound like you’re currently sending him the message that he his respect for women can and should be conditioned on what they’re wearing.

No, I'm suggesting that people read the room. As I said elsewhere, if it wouldn't be appropriate to do at the playground, don't do it at a public pool.

And it's not women. Men wearing suits where they have VDL or an erection at a public pool around children is gross and inappropriate.

Who said they don't have emotions? I said they should work on their highly-sexualized instagram influencer career somewhere else.
