Does anyone have a special written pool rule to ban thong bikinis?

I am in need of help. Does anyone out there have a special written pool rule to ban thong bikinis? Seems I need to post one at our property. Thanks much...

Hahah pretty sure they arent illegal.

If you ban thongs, don’t use the word bikini. Doing so “singles out” women and could become a Fair Housing issue. Also, you may want to know that an apartment community made international headlines for kicking a woman out who was wearing a thong or asking her to cover up somewhat recently. There may be a way to properly do it but it could bring bad publicity. Just my opinion...

I'd be uncomfortable with addressing this topic. I would insist upon "appropriate swimwear at all times".

I go to the nude beach, so my thinking is mapped out different from yours ( perspective ). Also my building does not care if you go topless ( well maybe it does but nobody's ever cared and there are ton's of kids around. ) so what's appropriate swimwear in your area. Now thinking along those lines, are you going to ban porn on the free internet too? don't forget that cola has sugar, can't have that by the pool... anything else?

Years ago I caught a lady swimming topless. Didn't need a sign for that one. She wasn't even a resident. Darn pool hoppers

family appropriate attire

The dress code at D.C.'s public pools might have a few people scratching their heads because of what's banned from pool decks -- including most cover-ups.

D.C.'s pool attire rules, re-released Wednesday by the Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR), require everyone at city pools to wear swimwear at all times, even while not in the water.
People in the pool -- or on the pool deck -- cannot wear cut-offs, jeans, skirts, shorts, sport bras, leotards, leggings, dri-fit wear, thongs, compression shorts, boxers, and underwear.
Swimmers will have to leave banned attire in the locker rooms.
"I can see where the thong stuff would kind of be [banned]," one D.C. resident told News4's Mark Segraves, "but the other stuff, like aqua socks, that could protect your feet if there was something in the pool, so that's kind of ridiculous."
White T-shirts and sarongs are allowed, although colored T-shirts and sundress-style cover-ups are not.
Also on the approved list: one-and two piece bathing suits for women, swim trunks and swim briefs for men, and religious swimwear.
"Even if you're not going in the water, if you're on the pool deck, you need to be in pool attire," said John Stokes of the Department of Parks and Recreation. "...Our thing is, if it's made for a pool [you can wear it], and there's lots of pool attire. If it's made for a pool, it's allowed."
Stokes said the rules are designed to make sure those at the pools are there to swim.
"We realize that a lot of this is because we don't charge for folks to swim, so people think, 'Oh, if they don't charge, we're just going to hang out around the pool'," he said. "There were probably a lot of different residents who want to wear different types of attire in the pool or on the pool deck."
Stokes said white T-shirts are permitted on the pool deck to prevent sunburn, but wasn't immediately able to confirm if other colors of T-shirts were allowed.
"There are people who do burn, and we want to consider that," Stokes said.
DPR officials say they're working to clarify the rules after several incidents across the city where pool staff argued with residents about what was and wasn't allowed. In at least one case, police had to be called to settle a dispute.
The rules aren't new, but were re-released as a reminder.
Wednesday's release cites several reasons "why it is important to only wear pool attire in the pool," although the DPR's ban on streetwear is extended to the pool deck as well. According to the release:
1. Street clothes (especially cotton) can transport airborne and ultimately water borne contaminants into the pool.
2. Lycra and Nylon are the best non-absorbent material for swimming and are the best fabrics for proper swim attire.
-- Other absorbent materials (such as cotton) can break down in the water and cause fibers to clog filters.

-- Any "colored" material (unless specifically made for swimming) can bleed into the pool, effecting water chemistry and balance. This is also a reason for turbidity in pools.
3. Cotton and similar materials can absorb the chemicals in the water, causing the water to become less effective at maintaining the proper chemical balance or may cloud the water.
"If you're wearing street clothes, that could allow contaminants into the water," Stokes said. He said the DPR believes that's true even if the clothes are only on pool decks.
DPR spoke with the D.C. Department of Health before setting its pool attire rules, he said.
The charts have been delivered to every pool.

I literally just had this the other day. Our sign says must wear appropriate swimwear. I just went and spoke with the girl and politely asked her to cover up that it wasn’t appropriate especially while we are conducting business. Our office overlooks the pool she was at. She complied without incident.

People can have a different interpretation of the word “appropriate”!

Bathing suits aren’t a protected class don’t think you need to worry about fair housing! Send out a reminder to entire community of pool rules, this should be in it, then if needed work with individuals as needed.

Please refer to your local ordinances regarding lewdness.

I am fairly certain that a thong is not illegal anywhere...

Some people just need to be politely asked to cover up. Ask them if they were a parent of a 10-16 year old boy, would they want their son exposed to that.

Hahahaha. We banned swimming with t-shirts on!!! Or street clothes for that matter.

And because I like to validate, here is the state law for florida with the exception ( extreem on both ends LOL ) legalbeagle.com/7258414-florida-bikini-laws.html

What year is this? 1950?

Why? That brings more people to use the pool. Haha.

Yes, we had our pool rules signage professional made: "of course with all the regular pool rules listed" to let our guest know as far as thongs go, we added in the rules:
Appropriate swim wear required, No cut Off shorts, Save your bikini thongs for the beach - family environment - No Thongs for him or her in this pool.
Yes I know it's 2019 but it would be nice to use a little discretion when it comes to youth and senior citizens, you want to see buns go to the bakery.

Nothing wrong with wearing a thong to a beach or pool not like having sex in front of everyone, chill and enjoy life don't sweat the small stuff it's just small stuff

My daughter just got escorted out of the pool this weekend because she was wearing a G stain. It was super sad
