Nehanda Posted January 17, 2007 I am not quite certain about Central London, in SW few swimming pool are open to women only at certain times although the lifeguard tend to be men. Not much use there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mantra Posted January 18, 2007 Originally posted by UK_ROSE: Mantra, Few reasons for not wearing a bikini- 1- Nothing guarantees me that a man wouldn't be walking in at any time. 2- Islamically- a woman is not allowed to expose her cawra- waist to knees even in front of other women. 3- Swimming costumes don't look flattering unless ur a size 8-10 and am not!! Rose first of all if there is a risk of a man walking in, you shouldnt be there at all..the burqini can hardly be considered hijab, same goes for leggings and a t-shirt... what about your hair and neck? :confused: I didn't know that other women can't see your thighs, is there a hadith for that? and swimming costumes look more flattering on full bodied sisters! my dear you're just looking for excuses to drown yourself! I went to York hall, didnt check out their pool but they're in the process of creating a spa..it will open next month inshallah Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aisha Posted January 18, 2007 I go swimming every fortnight. They've got a sauna, spa, steam room & the pool. It's sooooooo relaxing!!! All I wear is board shorts (that cover upto my knees) and a singlet or a small t-shirt. If you wear loose clothing, it will float up once your in the water and can get pretty uncomfortable! Although alot of the women that attend wear their long skirts and over sized t-shirts! There's one girl who's brave enough to wear a bikini. All the older ladies give her the LOOK! She's known as the wild one lol. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mantra- Good luck- Maybe you can join the girl wearing a bikini and you can be the wild duet. As for me i think i will stick my theory of "less is more". after all wouldn't want to give any man the pleasure of looking at my flesh! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ibtisam Posted January 18, 2007 Loool^ looks like you are going to join the dirac swimming people. Don't make the mistake I did and wear shorts and a singlet. EVERY ONE Was Muslim and they were wearing dress/ skirts dirac, so wear one of these as not to look odd. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cynical lady Posted January 18, 2007 lol again whts wrong with swimming costumez? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ibtisam Posted January 18, 2007 It is women only (which firstly includes non Muslim women (who are leveled with the states of non maxaram men) and as for Muslim women you can only show that which wash while doing wudu (your face/ hair/ hands and feet) so wearing a swimming costumes does not go down well.
