点评:I was forbidden to swim in swim shorts – even though they were real swimwear, designed for swimming, proper material, just with a wider cut. The justification? “These shorts can also be worn in the street, so they are dirty.”
Absurd: in almost all of Europe – Germany, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands – these shorts are no problem. People there know the difference between street clothes and swimwear, without inventing a fake hygiene risk.
As a physician, I can confirm: there is no scientific study proving swim shorts are less hygienic than briefs or tight boxers. Hygiene depends on showering before swimming and the fabric of the suit, not its cut. This rule has no medical basis.
It would be far more useful to impose on pool operators real hygiene measures, scientifically proven:
• more frequent/systematic water checks,
• regular sampling,
• renewal with fresh water,
• effective chlorination, known to kill germs.
These are effective, evidence-based measures – unlike this ridiculous ban.
What’s worrying is how rules are enforced without proof of effectiveness. If bans can be introduced without scientific justification, anything can be imposed as a “local rule.”
I was even forbidden from sitting by the pool in my swim shorts. Meanwhile, body hair under arms, chest or elsewhere = no “hygiene” problem. Where is the logic?
And of course, the big lesson: “Our rules, our country.” A fine example of liberty and common sense… If only everything in France were as “well regulated” as this nonsense, perhaps one could believe the country is truly the spearhead of freedom.
Result: humiliating, absurd, incoherent regulation. Experience ruined. Avoid at all costs.
翻译:我被禁止穿泳裤游泳——尽管它们是真正的泳衣,专为游泳设计,材质合适,只是剪裁较宽。理由是什么?“这些短裤也可以在街上穿,所以很脏。”
荒谬:在几乎所有欧洲国家——德国、西班牙、意大利、荷兰——这些短裤都没有问题。那里的人们知道街头服装和泳衣的区别,不会捏造虚假的卫生风险。
作为一名医生,我可以确认:没有任何科学研究证明泳裤比三角裤或紧身平角裤更不卫生。卫生取决于游泳前的淋浴和泳衣的面料,而不是剪裁。这条规定没有医学依据。
对泳池运营商实施真正的、经过科学验证的卫生措施会更有用:
• 更频繁/系统的水质检查,
• 定期取样,
• 更换淡水,
• 有效的氯化消毒,已知可以杀死细菌。
这些都是有效的、有证据支持的措施——不像这项荒谬的禁令。
令人担忧的是,规则的执行缺乏有效性的佐证。如果禁令可以在没有科学依据的情况下出台,那么任何事情都可以被当作“地方规则”来强制执行。
我甚至被禁止穿着泳裤坐在泳池边。与此同时,腋下、胸前或其他地方的体毛=不构成“卫生”问题。这逻辑何在?
当然,还有最重要的教训:“我们的规则,我们的国家。” 自由与常识的典范……如果法国的一切都像这些胡言乱语一样“规范有序”,或许人们就会相信这个国家真的是自由的先锋。
结果:令人羞辱、荒谬、语无伦次的监管。体验毁了。无论如何都要避免。
