Yes, a subject of pool hygiene applicable to France and other European countries often raised on the old board - the idea being that speedos will be worn afresh to swim and will not therefore be dirty shorts with pockets which have also been used as street wear.

Thanks for explaining the sanitation rule.

So I guess they can also ask a girl to wear a bikini or a one-piece suit if by rare chance she wants to swim in something worn on the street.
