Islamic Swimwear, swimming guideline , etc

My children are active swimmers. Two of them are club swimmers and they have entered local county competition. The younger two however, have yet to be good at swimming. My little ones is only 10 months and obviouly he needs to be accompanied by ummi in order to enjoy the splashy water. I was searching for a suitable swim wear in local shops for almost a year and I cant find the one that suits me as a muslim women. When I found these pieces in my hometown in Malaysia, my first thought is to share this exciting product with fellow muslim .

The first thing I did is to check local swimming guidelines on the appropriateness of the attire. First , I found a report by women sports foundation about "Women and Swimming (2005 -2006)". The report quoted that one of the barrier for women to be involved in swimming is the cultural and religous requirement for swimming attire.Then I was thinking ...Hey, this is the solution, Muslimah swim suit.(the report by WSF is available here http://wsf.org.uk/informed/wsf_research.php)


I noted from review of swimming guidelines that swimmers are allowed to wear swim suit made of light material such as lycra and the attire must not obstruct your movement. There is nothing mentioned that the attire has to be in certain shape or designs (long or short) etc....HMMM...sound goood.... for health and safety consideration, the following is an excerpt from ASA swimming guideline for school children:
Swimming Attire
Pupils should wear appropriate costumes for swimming that conform to safety, cultural
and teaching requirements. It is important that swimming clothing is relatively tight fitting
so as to minimise the effect of drag that water logged clothing can create. Sensitivity is
required to ensure:
-The correct balance when cultural demands require looser fitting garments
-The need to be able to see the movements that limbs and joints are making in the water
to ensure appropriate learning
-Children who swim frequently or whose eyes are susceptible to irritation may request to
use goggles for swimming. Parents should be informed of their responsibility to teach
their child to put on and take off goggles in the correct and safe fashion.
