I saw someone post this picture in r.s.s. Apparently, the guy was upset that he wasn't let in a pool in Czechoslovakia where he was visiting (he's from the U.S.) Have you seen these kind of signs elsewhere? Not that I'm against them, I'm perfectly fine wearing the "approved" attire.

I can answer this from 2 different viewpoints:
#1 lifeguarding at a waterpark in Allentown, PA: there were major problems with guys wearing nearly 1/2 pants on slides that would get caught, hold up the ride, etc. They had a size limit for the length of shorts (can't offhand remember what it was), and no underwear could be showing above the waistband.
#2: as a tourist in Europe and Japan: even at a water park (indoors) in The Netherlands, I went out with regular trunks on, was the only one there with them, so was glad I had my speedo on underneath. At several pools I went to in Japan the had rules about swimsuits like this, as well as requiring caps, I'm assuming for sanitary reasons.
