...and don't give it a second thought. I even saw girls in dresses & pants in the public pools. AWESOME! |
In reply to Message (42610) NZ lifeguards against clothed swims
By ssiei - Wed 06/01/10 17:06:42 GMT Just read an article where again so-called lifeguards in New Zealand give credit to the old legend that it's extremely dangerous to swim clothed. It turns out that this could even mean wearing as little as jean shorts and T-shirts - I'd call it almost naked... If this old legend was true, we'd find sky-high Asian and Latin America drowning figures and almost no cases in western countries! It is clearly not so. I don't have exact data but there doesn't seem to be any significant difference between world averages. But legends are very little ralated to facts...
