FRANCE – Woman forced to pay $575 for swimming in communal pool wearing burkini

Ludicrous. Personally, as a lifelong avid swimmer, the concept of wearing a burkini for swimming is simply that I would find it to be cumbersome while doing laps! But that is just me.
However. Public pools allow children. Those children wear nappies under their suits. Tell me that is not reason for emptying a pool? After all, all they do is strain out the hard matter from the pool! AND, when something DOES happen, the pool is closed for no more than a few hours while it is cleaned out. And that does not include draining. Tell me that after a parenting swim class there is not pee in the water!
Forget even the modesty factor of bikini vs burkini. This owner was definitely out of line because his every claim is simply bogus. It is all so very ludicrous but ordinary people pay the price until enough speak out…. and even then….
