What do you call the swimming attire?
A swimsuit can be described by various names, some of which are used only in particular locations, including swimwear, bathing suit, swimming costume, bathing costume, swimming suit, swimmers, swimming togs, bathers, cossie (short for "costume"), or swimming trunks for men, besides others.
Why do we need proper attire in swimming?
Generally, standard swimming pool rules require PROPER swimming attire. The very REASON is to AVOID DISCOLORATION OF THE WATER. If they will allow the people to swim in inappropriate wear, they will need to put MORE treatment, which means, it will require HIGHER MAINTENANCE.
