Let me explain further. In no way am I disparaging you personally. I just have a deep detestation of any form of evil, such as public pools which refuse to allow proper swimwear to be worn, namely rashies. It is highly immoral for a public re-cration venue to allow one gender to have fun, but refuse to allow another gender to do so. I must praise the behaviour of my local pool (Fusion, who also run several pools in the South, such as Brockwell Lido in Herne Hill) as not only myself but a number of other males now always swim in rashies, teeshirts, etc. and women in swimdresses. I have swum in a public indoor pool (PIP) in a top of some kind since the 1990's (e.g. at Purley Oaks (Croydon), kaftans, shirts, leggings, etc.) and here in a Mistral long-sleeved rashie (better than a sweatshirt because the sleeves don't wind round your arms during breaststroke, or cover your hands during freestyle, lol) and would *never* swim at a PIP that didn't allow this. Apologies again if you read my post as disparaging or gaslightive, that was certainly not my intention :) Always fill your day with wonderful things :)
