Ready to make a splash this summer? Below is a list of websites selling modest & Muslim swimwear, and a link to my article from two years back about my experience wearing my modest swimsuit for the first time! Yes you will get stares, but who cares! Enjoy the water with your family this summer!
TIP: find out what the swimwear policy is in your city if you're thinking of going to the public pools, and you'll probably be pleasantly surprised. When I had no idea what the rules were, I wasn't sure if a life guard would have problems with me and that was nerve-racking, but now that I know my city actually encourages swimming in whatever you want, I feel SO much more at ease at the pool! Here's an excerpt from an article about my city's swimming policy:
"People in Calgary will now be allowed to swim in city pools wearing saris, hijabs and other religious clothing under a new policy designed to encourage ethnic and religious minorities to participate.
Heather Bruce, the city's superintendent for aquatics and fitness, said the policy clarifies what had been a grey area, typically handled on a case-by-case basis at pools across the region."We wanted to make sure that everyone feels comfortable and they can participate with dignity when they use our facilities. I think it's a tangible demonstration of our commitment to diversity to formalize the policy," Ms. Bruce said.
...The only requirements are that the clothing be clean and that swimmers shower in the garments before entering the pool."
