I stumbled across this web site while doing research for another thread. According to the wackywet web site, it is trendy to swim fully clothed.
Comments??
From the FAQ web page:
"We are actually in the Majority?
Well, maybe not where you live. But worldwide, people normally swim in clothes. Think of India with more population than Europe, Australia and USA combined. Think of Latin America or Africa. How about Southeast Asia, again with a population the size of Europe. You'd be frowned upon there if you go swimming in your skimpy shorts or briefs. It's offensive to them, indecent. There are more people on this planet swimming in clothes than without.
Swimming in Clothes is only Logical
What we're doing is not weird or crazy. It is the intelligent response to environmental challenges. We spend more time outdoors than people did 50 or a 100 years ago whilst the protective ozone layer of our atmosphere is thinning. We have to protect ourselves, especially near water where reflections almost double the UV exposure from the sun's rays. Swimming in clothes is the logical thing to do. "
