Swimming in Pakistan..

Sorry if this sounds stupid but what do you wear..

Re: Swimming in Pakistan..

a swimsuit :) - most of the pools in Pakistan are gender segregated.

Everyone wears a swimsuit or a longer version of a swimsuit.

Re: Swimming in Pakistan..

I could never wear a swimsuit; hence I don't go swimming! :(

Re: Swimming in Pakistan..

One of friends use to swim in shalwar qamiz in pakistan. hehe wonder how she managed that

Re: Swimming in Pakistan..

Most wear shorts or swimsuits. In non-segregated pools they usually wear shorts or capri-style trackpants and a shirt. The girls on the swim teams (with a male coach) with those one pieces that reach the thigh as opposed to undie-shaped ones.

Re: Swimming in Pakistan..

Hmmm.. I have a couple of **one piece **cutout swimsuits and am wondering if they’re ok or too revealing.. The pool is residential but can be seen by neighbours etc. Parents said be careful incase ppl take pics :bummer:

Re: Swimming in Pakistan..

Need covered poool to be really sure

Re: Swimming in Pakistan..

When I was a kid in Pak we had this swimming club nearby, I tried to hang around when it was womens' time but this police uncle at the door always used to shoo me away :(

Re: Swimming in Pakistan..

deebs which pool is it? I have been in the karsarz /bahraia or however you spell it one and wore a tankini and shorts on top of the bottoms

Re: Swimming in Pakistan..

How does a one-piece cutout swimsuit look like? Just the tank + undie part joined or is that something else?

Re: Swimming in Pakistan..

hey so anyone knows about an indoor swimming pool in lahore?

Re: Swimming in Pakistan..

I stayed at the mariott karachi in june 2010. upon check in one of the beautiful saree clad women told me they have a pool, I told her i didn't realize they had a women's only pool and didn't pack any swimsuits. she told me i could purchase or rent one. So one of the days I headed down to the lobby and they pointed me in the direction of the pool i think i paid less than $10 for a swimsuit that wasn't ugly and fit and swam my heart out which was such a great way to relax given that I was visiting in june and I wasn't accustomed to that kind of heat. It was private, indoors and a blast. I was able to get a good workout and really enjoyed splashing around in the cool water.

Re: Swimming in Pakistan..
