When I go to the gym, I normally work out wearing my swimsuit, so I can just jump in the pool to cool off at the end of my session. I've been doing this for maybe a year and it's never seemed to bother anyone.
Now, there's a new deputy manager just started working there, and she came into the gym and saw me and got really annoyed and demanded that I wear "proper" gym clothes. I pointed out that I had been wearing a swimsuit in the gym for a long time and no one had complained.
She then started saying it was a safety issue. How on earth can wearing a swimsuit be unsafe? If anything, loose-fitting clothes are more unsafe because they're more likely to snag on something.
Fortunately, the other people in the gym (staff and customers) were on my side -- I know most of them.
But why would she get so annoyed about me wearing a swimsuit in the gym? I know it's unusual, but I've seen a few other women do it, presumably for the same reason I do.
