Wonder they can swim at all in these outfits Looks a bit restrictive for the arm movements. Besides, the pleasure of swimming is the freedom of feeling the water on bare flesh.

Don't understand why the t-shirts would be unhygienic ? Some of the instructors at the pool I go to wear one during classes. Perhaps some pools have better cleaning facilities than others ?

When I go to visit my friends in Spain, the pool at the gym insists you wear swimming caps, where they don't at mine. Tried to figure this out ... don't think it could be because of hair preparations .. think probably because their filter system is not as good for any loose hairs. Dunno' really.

Would be sad to see disabled swimmers lose their facilities for a while. See the pleasure it gives to restricted movement people ... I see people who have lost limbs, m.s. sufferers, stroke victims, injuries, arthritis and the very elderly enjoying the buoyancy that the water gives them. There is never any need for special sessions either; mind you the pools are one depth at 1.2 metres, which seems to be the trend these days.
