How do women who cover up from head to toe go swimming?

Question

whilst on holiday in egypt i noticed nearly all the women cover from head to toe, so how would they go swimming?

Answer 1

LOL, Yeah, I've seen them go to the beach in Mablethorpe in all that garb and not dip a toe into the sea.

They must not be able to go swimming surely!

Answer 2

SCUBA WEAR .

Answer 3

Their husbands don't allow them to swim, I have an aunt who does that and he doesnt let her do anything. Thats why i hate him, hes too controlling.  

Answer 4

female only days at the pool, and in the UAE there were women-only beaches, and all the women that would normally be covered were in bikinis and shorts etc lol

Answer 10

They usually use special swim suit that is designed to satisfy islamic respect to her body from being exposed.

However still The main issue is privacy and this is acheived by the following ways:

(1) most swimming pools provide certain times during the day (or certain days during the week) for females only, so any girl can use it at these times freely, whether she is veiled (hijab or nikab) or not. and in this way they can wear anykind of swimming suit they want. as pool divers and workers are females too.

(2) there are beaches are reserved for ladies certain days of the week (the same way with swimming pools)

(3) there are hotels (specially in waterfront resorts) that are designed in a way so each hotel unit has its own swimming pool and which is surrounded with high trees to assure privacy for hotel guests

(4) some acheive the same kind of privacy through building their own swimming pool in their house backyard (but this so costy)

(5) some women go to beach early morning (before or after sunrise directly) with their men relatives and enjoy swimming.

Answer 12

Answer 13

They probably dont.

Answer 14

I really do not understand you people, what is your business if someone wants to cover up or be naked,, do not you believe in  the free well??? You do not have even the right to like/ do not like /mock  what they wear ,, It is not your business, do anyone interfere in your  freedom to be whatever,,?? UUFF

Anyway , they swim , there is special suit for that, or they can just use the  swimming pools in certain times when  are  only for women  (in certain days or certain times during the day...),,, The funny thing that there are lots of places also in Your civilization where women or men can do activities apart of the other s*x,,,
