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.

The pool director said that they had been pulling lots of hair out of the filters and it was disgusting. I don't remember whether it was explicit or implicit that he meant pubic hairs. In the article.
It was not entirely clear to me at the time how swim briefs cut down on pubic hairs in the filter, although I could see it. But it did lead me to wonder if he was simply mistaking regular old black hairs for pubic hairs.
I wonder if my jammers would be allowed?
Well the picture clearly shows a pair of loose shorts and with pockets even. Like another poster mentioned, it's the kind that you can just casually use anywhere - the gym, basketball court, tennis. But jammers - I don't know, maybe they can be allowed.
Lots of hair in the pool: I'd suspect that this hair is mostly from ladies with long hair (on the head!) who do not wear swim caps. Ladies' hair especially the long flowing thin ones get cut easily especially when there's plenty of thrashing and playing in the pool. I've noticed this a couple of times in our pool and it's yucky all that long hair floating around.
