My husband just sent me this link.

And here I am complaining about a bit of soreness from doubles.
I got it easy.
Looks like the burqinis cost about as much as a fastskin.
It's totally for real. I read an article a while back about these, and how they've allowed Muslim women in Australia to go to the beach and also to be lifeguards there.
The bodysuit doesn't conform to the strictest Islamic dress standard because it's form-fitting, but I know that at least Pakistan has recently allowed women to compete in swimming wearing the full coverage Fastskin-type suits. The women train with other women and wear regular swimsuits, but for competitions where there are men, they wear the full bodysuits.
I think it's pretty interesting how these suits that were developed simply for speed might have the unintentional consequence of opening up competitive swimming to women in the Arab world.
