It seems to depend... We've been obliged to wear budgie smugglers or similar in some municipal pools and private pools where as others allow Bermuda shorts. We've only been required to wear caps in one pool.What is the story in France re swimming shorts ? So many conflicting results looking on google . Aparently it is law not to wear shorts but it’s not adhered to at some sites , is this the case ? Tia
It is not the law in Italy, it only compulsory when required to do so by the campsite or pool owners.I think it is actually a law,.
Italy & Ireland you have to wear a swimming cap.

That’s because cotton suffocates the budgies…Being aware of these rules I always swim in brief swimwear. However a couple of months ago i was swimming in the pool at Le Floride & l'Embouchure site just outside Argeles sur mer when the lifeguard pulled me up to tell me that my swimwear wasn't made of the right material they were cotton polyester but should be Lycra.

Possibly as it’s the hair that they want covering to protect the filters.I wonder if you would have to wear a swim cap in an Italian naturist's swimming pool ?
I can’t wear budgie smugglers, I have to buy parrot smugglers

That's probably to reduce any large bow-wave bald people may produce?Some places even insist on a bathing cap for the completely bald. Very odd.
My son and other half wear these types... Bermuda shorts were a definite no in some places last summer in FranceMy husband always wears the speedo type with short legs and has never had a problem,

As a woman I would say that all men, no matter what age or shape look better in these short leg Lycra swimmers! Baggy shorts with flapping pockets look ridiculous, & seem to be getting longer & longer! You’ll all be swimming in trousers soon!My husband always wears the speedo type with short legs and has never had a problem,

Well well well..... as a woman... and I hope I'm not going to start something ...hot..here (heated bit of thread that is ...tssss!!!).. I do prefer to admire a man in a boxer short (Riverbankannie the ones you gave a link to) than in anything else. Just think a bit you men... would you like to see all the women with some sort of large bag around their boobs ...how frustrating!!! Wot??? You really think that, we, women don't look at you men.....Pah you're naive little things!!!I consider them ridiculous.
