What to wear to a water park

[Sadsister224]

Water park abroad. Very body conscious. I'd like to cover up as much as possible but working out how I can do this. Basically want to be only in a swimming costume for the least amount time as possible but if I wear a kaftan then I can't wear that on the rides...what to do??

We usually leave stuff in a locker. In my experience they are very strict about not wearing anything extra on rides for obvious safety reasons. You will probably wear flip flops which most people kick off at the foot of the ride and pick up later. I guess you could drop a towel or wrap with them. I can't imagine anyone is interested in what you are wearing or not wearing though.

A boy leg swimsuit with a rash vest over it?

A cover is impractical when you're running all over the place and queuing.

Just wear a sporty high necked tankini that includes longer shorts piece

I wear a long-sleeved, high neck rash top with shorts-style bottoms for sun protection reasons but it also feels very covered-up.

Check local rules. Only swimming costumes are allowed in some swimming pools on the continent i.e. no birkinis, coverups, etc.

Swim dress.

If you google for “modest swim suit” or “adult UV swim suit” you’ll find loads of options that literally cover head to toe.

Where are you? In SE Asia it's common to cover up a lot - t-shirts (and loose shorts) would be acceptable. So much so that you'd get odd looks it you wore a bikini or swimsuit!

I usually wear shorts over a costume but was told I had to take them off in Tenerife, no others made me though.

I burnt with a normal swimming top on this summer. Wear a rash vest top and a cap if you can, although they don't always let you down the slides with a cap/sun visor. I ended up with light visor which I would loop onto my pants when I went down slides.

Was it Siam park?

I was referring to Siam park. Been many times though in summer, not sure if it's open this time of year. I remember taking DC years ago and they weren't allowed to wear sun protection tops.

Yes that’s the one, this was around 14/15years ago now so things may have changed.

I often wonder about this. I often wear a sporty swimsuit that is a UV suit (pictured)

I wear these if I've caught too much sun and I want to protect my skin. They are very common place is Australia/NZ where I'm from.

I sometimes ponder how I would be treated in France. Would I be told it's not ok?

In my experience of municipal pools in France, tight-fitting garments like this which are clearly swimwear are accepted. The focus is on preventing loose-fitting garments which could be worn as outdoor clothing, eg baggy board shorts or t-shirts, for hygiene reasons. Bluntly, there’s also more than a touch of Islamophobia in the prohibition of burkinis.

I wear board shorts with a bikini top .. if they ask you to take them off say I can't they are my bottoms ( like men's shorts ) .. sorted !
Surely with all the trans thing they can't make you off actual swimwear .. shorts I understand but if they are swimwear then too bad

Yes, it affects Muslim men as well as some of them feel they can't wear budgy smugglers for modesty reasons.

If you tried that in a swimming pool where I live, you'd just be told to go. Shorts that look like boxers aren't allowed on men or women. Men have to wear trunks.
I don't know about water parks though. The rules might be different there.
