Swimming pool etiquette

Thank you!

I wonder why my searches came up with ridiculous ones first ? :rofl:

Except jewellery. Loads of chains and no tan lines :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

It’s ok having a pee (for us men) in a public loo. What I hate is having to have a dump which, fortunately, is a rarity. If you find an empty cubicle you can just about manage to believe nobody has used it but to have to wait for someone to vacate one, then have to sit on a seat which is still warm. Aaagghh!

I am unperturbed by the pissoir one finds at ‘aires’ but some bodily functions should remain private. Not sure how a nudist is going to manage a sanitary towel.

I believe there are ways but I know nuzzing.

That’s TMI !!

:slight_smile:

Maybe I am better not understanding that. :roll_eyes:

Depends. I just wear my watch.

Good to know @vero , just in case I want to know the time if we ever meet. I take off my watch before swimming, just in case it panics and calls the pompiers. :rofl:

Reviving this thread as have just come across a logical reason.

One doesn’t wear budgie smugglers to lunch/on the metro/doing the shopping etc etc so they are less likely to be harbouring dirt and bacteria. And since some don’t shower before getting in a pool then this interdiction helps keep pool cleaner for others.

Still seems like a “French thing”. Maybe other countries do it. Thankfully in the UK we aren’t so fussy.

Not sure cleanliness = fussiness?

I just stumbled across this thread… I wish I hadn’t :face_with_hand_over_mouth:

Of course!

Does anyone still use those? Obv you choose your method and also when you want to go swimming or to loaf on the beach comfortably.
That said, I don’t really understand the urge to be naked all the time everywhere for every activity, I’m a feeble un-ideological beach and pool naturist.

I agree, but must admit, alone in my non-overlooked house and of course in the shielded pond I can’t see the point of clothes this weather. Jules of course, despite his heavy coat which he distributes willingly around the house, is similarly attired so no offence is engendered on either part.

Perhaps TMI, but period pants are what the younger women in the family use.

Wow. The world moves on. How sensible.

Those and menstrual cups get the vote chez moi.
