Swimsuit query
There are occasions when, for religious reasons, a swimmer needs to remain covered and the wearing of a full length body suit should not pose a barrier to the individual taking part in training and/or competition. The Legal Department has provided guidance in relation to this and the document can be accessed via the link below.

Sorry !!! I'm not buying the "religion" thing for them!!!
What's to buy? Bodysuits allow muslim women to swim and observe their religious code. Without bodysuits they have to make a choice that they may not feel that they can make.
Or are you simply saying that they can take it or leave it (swimming) as far as you are concerned?
