To think my dd can wear her stud earrings swimming

[Greentoothbrush]

Aibu to think its fine for my daughter to wear her solid small gold studs for swimming? Dad's teacher said they would have to come out, so I have taken them out. But I think this is unreasonable... As a child we were always told no hoops, and that studs were fine?

There is usually a blanket rule on no earrings for PE. Swimming is PE so it doesn’t need to be reiterated IMO. Swimming lessons tend to have games and things and she could get hit with a ball for example. Having earrings in would make that a very unpleasant experience! I have also lost count of the number of times I’ve lost an earring in the pool.

Side note: why do children who can’t remove their own earrings need their ears pierced?

I don't think bare foot sports should allow studs in case they come out and injure someone's foot
Even in swimming they could fall out poolside or in the shallow end and cause injury

I didn't notice either!
