The sample of burkini wearers from all beach and sea users. Obviously.
That is the available sample, but if it's so obvious why did you previously refer to the UK, whereas now you are talking about all users?
You do seem rather confused about hydrodynamics.
You appear to be projecting.
I regularly use a diving skin with hood, which is similar to a burkini.
Recently I was diving in a group which included a muslim family, and the mother used a burkini.
The head of the dive operation (Mike) was a Master Instructor/Course Director with over 20 years experience/9250 logged dives.
He was extremely intolerant of anything that might adversely affect diver safety and led many of our dives, but no issues with use of burkini, or diving skin.
That didn't surprise me, but might be a shock for the ignorant.
No I haven't.
Yes you have.
And not related to anything I've written.
Yes it is.
And what about the muslim women that know that doing what they are told is best for them? Do you tolerate that with equanimity? Do you deny it?
Different subject, although without irony you have been telling Muslim women what's best for them up thread.
No doubt you don't wish to introduce red herring, so why don't you start a thread on the topic?
I pointed at your illustration of a burkini, are you now backtracking? Not suitable for swimming.
Do you have any experience of designing water sports wear?
It is designed for the purpose, but perhaps you know better than all swim wear designers, as well as those who happen to be Muslim women?
I then offered an example of (presumably) muslim women in water covered in even less appropriate clothing.
Presumptions, like assumptions, are the mother of all fcuk ups.
This is what happens when one hunts for stuff on the internet without understanding.
It's quite clearly not designed for swimming. You can get swim suits that completely cover, and swim caps that cover the head. Designed for purpose. Banned in competition. Not burkinis.
Denial is the next stage. It's not competitive wear, but perhaps you feel the need to clutch at straws.
Anyway this is off point. If muslim women want to emphasise their separation from their adopted culture that's a cultural problem. But it's not fixed by banning their posturing.
For someone who claims to be a liberal, that's remarkably intolerant.
Considering the intent and profile of the designer you are showing yourself to be extremely foolish on the subject too.
Puzzling that you claim to be concerned for the safety of those wearing burkinis participating in water sports.
But you can't be bothered/are incapable of understanding the facts, even when the information is at the end of your nose!
With the sun and surf an integral part of the Australian lifestyle, Zanetti designed the swimsuit in 2004 so Muslim women, who choose to wear a head covering like the hijab, could participate in water activities and other sports.
"The burkini was designed for freedom, flexibility and confidence. It was designed to integrate into Australian society," she said in a phone interview with the Thomson Reuters Foundation from Sydney.
