Teenager bikini at swimming lessons. AIBU?

I was totally shocked to see a child wearing a thong bikini at the swimming pool during my child’s swimming lesson today. She looked to be a young teen, maybe 13. I’m a person who tries to never judge, and of course I wouldn’t ever want to judge a child. I also understand parents may have less control over their children at that age. It just seemed completely inappropriate. Is this what teens wear these days? Maybe I’m just completely out of touch!

A thong? No, that’s not appropriate imo. Especially not for a swimming lesson! Will that even stay in place?

But I do understand why the teacher did not turn her away! It was probably the right decision tbh.
