Its amazing that you did not ask - "would you allow your son ..." as Islamicly speaking, revealing your skin is as prohibited for boys as it is for girls. Its not that only girls are not allowed to wear swimming costume in public and guys are allowed to expose their bulges in short tights.
OK about the covering fundamentals, I have heard a man can reveal his body expect for from abdomen to knees. for women is completely satar except for eyes or rather a single eye only (left or right im not sure and yes im not joking here) well this is what i have heard in islamic reference. my knowledge of religion is very very limited so cant argue at all.

you heard right, but soccer and swimming shorts for guys dont cover from abdomen to knees, do they, especially swimming?

Yeah but nobody cares if a guy shows skin, its always a woman's character that's called into question if shes showing skin
I think its sad that girls have to miss out on a big part of life simply b/c of dress code. imagine wanting to do so many things but are prohibited just b/c of the uniform
I stopped swimming in a public pool when i was 13/14 however i went to an all girls school so swam and did all sorts of sports until i was 18.
Now I got to the gym and i am fully covered and i chose to exercise in the ladies only areas unless its a class, where there might be some men.
With swimming me and my mum go but on ladies only day and mum wears lycra leggings and a t shirt and i wear shorts and lycra top, the ladies only day is run with a muslim lady.
Im really lucky i went to an all girls school (in the uk) and I live in an area with a very small muslim/asian population so having a ladies only day is quite lucky too!
My daughters are into sports and I want them to be good in at least one sport. Come on folks, it's necessary. Aside from the health reasons, they need it for their self image, for fun, for team spirit, for sportsmanship. My girls are turning out to be good swimmers and honestly, I would like them to partcipate in team events. I can find moderate swimwear for them. In fact most girls in their swim class are wearing modest swim wear these days. Bikinis are just for the beach.
My goal is to expose them to different sports and help them pick out out a couple they like and are good at.

No it's not amazing or surprising that I didn't ask "would you allow your son". We are all aware that modesty for men is not an issue with most Pakistanis. The fact that we have a Mr. Pakistan every year proves that.
I was pretty active in school, played a tonne of badminton aside from the regular PE classes (which involved a bunch of different activities from dancing to gymnastics to soccer) and I never had to wear revealing clothes. So I'm not at all worried about my daughters not being able to get involved in sports because of religious reasons. Who says you have to wear chaddis to do sports?
It's called a uniform not a chaddi and many outdoor sports require one to wear knee length shorts.
I would also like to add that I was talking about organized sports outside of P.E. class.

Read TLK bhai's post #25. Who says we HAVE to adhere to the uniform? The school that I went to had short skirts (not even knee length!) for uniform and my sisters and I were the only ones walking around in long skirts. No, we weren't bullied, weren't abandoned, didn't suffer in any way because we chose not to adhere to that dress code. Point being, organised sports or PE classes, we can do just fine in trousers too.
Would you allow your daughter(s) to participate in sports where the uniform consisted of clothes that reveal skin, eg. soccer shorts, bathing suit, etc.
Would you discourage them from participating in such spots?
It depends on her age. she will reach a certain age where i would tell her to not to wear revealing clothes.
I will not discourage her from taking part in such sports but will tell her to wear something appropriate. these sports like soccer, football etc etc can be played in joggy bottoms too.
as for swimming she will only take part in women swimming sessions one with either a full swimming costume or with tights. similarly my son will only go to men swimming sessions.

no I won't discourage them at all. Uou can wear leggings with shorts and there are plenty of swimsuits that cover. There are womens only clubs and pools as well.
Yes because it is sexist and very unfair to deprive your daughters the same oppritunities that your boys have.
Also it is just skin......regular normal skin!!
When I watch sports, I don't measure the lenghts of skirts and shorts, I enjoy and follow the game.
being active is important to me...and sports are not only about being physical, it teaches you leadership and to be a team player. Especially for girls, its usually the root of a strong self esteem. So yes, I will encourage it.
I don't think high school should be a problem, but if you plan to play competitive sports then you can be the odd man or odd woman to be precise. I would say that at least half of the guys in my class didn't wear shorts (even in summer) but then I have also seen paki girls wearing guy shorts in my gym.
I don't own my daughter and if she wants to play any sport she can unless and until I feel that her safety is in jeopardy I would not stop her same way I wouldn't have stopped my son (if I had). You really don't have to wear revealing clothes I don't believe that in Pakistan there are a number of successful women athletes and I have not seen them wearing revealing outfits.
