Swim teacher wearing a bikini

caira · 29-07-2013 1:13pm #1

My 15 year old son is having one to one swimming lessons at a local pool every sunday, When I went to pick him up early yesterday I was surprised to see that his teacher was wearing a bikini. Do you think this is appropriate for a swimming teacher ?

Has your son's swimming improved?

December2012 · 29-07-2013 1:16pm

Because???

Why do you think that it isn't?

What would you want her to wear ? A wet suit?...Want to be careful she doesn't teach him the "breast stroke"too

Yes

That was the most important and was your primary objectives.
The bikini top is unlikely to have any negative influence on your son and may even provide additional motivation to be a good student.

What is she meant to be wearing an all body wet suit. God forbid that a man be only wearing togs

HurtLocker · 29-07-2013 1:31pm

This thread has given me the urge to take up swimming lessons again

Important question: is the swim teacher male or female?

I've got a lesson at 4 today, living in hope now.

mr lee · 29-07-2013 1:38pm

where does she teach and how much are the lessons,does she do any extras?

maxwell smart · 29-07-2013 1:39pm

Does the teacher get into the water? Better a bikini than a T-Shirt then I reckon?

Come on, is this what the world has come to??? Worrying whether a bikini wearing swim teacher will corrupt your son (as I can't see any other reason for your concern)

Only if the teacher is female

shruikan2553 · 29-07-2013 1:42pm

I can already swim but maybe I could do with some lessons. Does she do adult classes?

AngryHippie · 29-07-2013 2:00pm

NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCEEEEEEEEEEEE!

jimmycrackcorm · 29-07-2013 2:02pm

What next? Female teachers to dress frumpy? No sorry skirts or low cut blouses

mikom · 29-07-2013 2:03pm

Could be a few more swimmers in the pool once a 15 year old reacts to a bikini clad teacher......

Trust me, your 15 year old son has seen a lot worse than a swimming instructor in a bikini!
And in any case what do you swim in? A burkha?

mike65 · 29-07-2013 2:26pm

One pieces can be hot as well.

Yes. I think any type of bikini/swimsuit/shorts/togs/goggles/flippers/etc would be appropriate clothing to wear while swimming.

It would be inappropriate if he/she was fully kitted out in ski wear or an anorak or sweat pants or any other form of clothing that would inhibit swimming.

hardCopy · 29-07-2013 2:45pm

None of my current or former swim teachers or coaches have ever gotten into the water with me during a lesson.

Runners and a tracksuit would be normal attire.

I don't see why people are so eager to take the piss out of the OP.

Slothman · 29-07-2013 2:59pm

What an idiotic question.
The only difference it will make to your son is that there will be a few extra crusty socks in the sock drawer.

All of my instructors got in the water. I learned to swim as a kid in the 90's.

Maybe it's changed since then.

dar100 · 29-07-2013 3:03pm

Is a bikini not meant for swimming???????????????????????????

mr lee · 29-07-2013 3:04pm

i take it she's a hottie or else this thread wouldn't exist,wet dreams anyone

anbrutog · 29-07-2013 3:05pm

Unreal.

Of all the things that could be happening to your son at school, you're worried about his teacher wearing a bikini.

So did I. I'd say I've had at least 7 different instructors between beginner lessons as a child, secondary school PE, Lifesaving classes and Triathlon Club Training.

I've had at least 5 different instructors as well. Swam from the age of 4 to 11. I had 2 female instructors and 3 male instructors and what they were wearing never bothered/affected me. :-/

With all them swimming lessons, I am a very strong swimmer now.

I liked swimming but couldn't commit to the swimming club. I took lessons on and off between the ages of 4 and 11. I am ****e at most other sports but thankfully I can swim well. :P

Ah no... Don't give up the only sport you are good at:D, I hear sportsman only get better as they enter their teens and twenties :eek:

JupiterKid · 29-07-2013 5:21pm

I've heard it said that serious male swimmers wear speedos or short trunks in the water and that serious female swimmers wear one piece swimsuits.

A bikini thus seems a tad unusual for a swimming instructor to wear - not because of how much it reveals (I myself have no qualms about swimming au naturel) but for the reason above.

In the National Aquatic Centre aquadome yesterday most of the lads wore those huge "board shorts" and most of the girls rather skimpy bikinis. In the main 50m pool, however, it was different...speedos, short trunks and one piece swimsuits were in abundance...:pac:

I would say because one on one lessons. People are taking the piss as the OP has not come back and said what is appropriate to wear when in a pool teaching someone to swim.

theholyghost · 29-07-2013 6:47pm

Back from my lesson. After reading this thread I was expecting some sort of confessions of a swim instructress sex romp. Disappointed.

snowey07 · 29-07-2013 7:19pm

Actually Im quite surprised shes wearing a bikini . My male instructor wears shorts and a tshirt during group lessons as theyre out of the pool and a wet suit during private lessons. All the female instructors wear tshirt/shorts usually and a one piece when in the pool during 1 to 1 classes.

I've never had one to one lessons so didn't realise it was the norm for teachers to get in the water.

All my lessons were group lessons and all my instructors got in the water. There should be a poll...did your instructor get in the water or not?:P

I cant imagine the instructor not getting in the water tbh. imagine the driving instructor sitting on a park bench and giving you instructions by yelling in your open window.

If the issue is with her wearing a bikini hence being a distraction or inappropriate attire then

However...
Used to swim competitively in college and the instructors always wore some kind of leggins / shorts / tshirt + flip flops or one piece in water (females), jammers (males).
Every sport has the designated attire and a bikini is not a swimmer's attire. Good for the beach and paddling in the pool but not when you are a professional swimming instructor and want to be taken seriously.

It seems odd to me but it could be something as simple as all her one-pieces were in the wash.

Yup, odd:) But that's the way it is. What is more, Im sure we'd be not allowed in the pool if any of us decided to wear skimpy bikini for the training.

Which piece, the top or the bottom piece?

Freedive Ireland · 30-07-2013 7:37pm

I'd be inclined to agree a Bikini is unusual but maybe had forgotton the one piece. I see most swim teachers on the deck now and cant understand it. i'm not a swim teacher so maybe thats just the way it is. Cant do the speedos but jammers or speedo shorts are the only way to go. your swimming will improve the day you put them on.
