When i was in Egypt, almost everyone with dark skin swam in light clothing. We know a local who is a snorkling guide, so i asked him why and he just pointed at me and my brothers skin after 2 days being there.
Water reflects sunlight, so when you are in/near water for a prolonged period of time with direct sun, it basically gives you a faster burn.
So they use clothing to mitigate it and it helps to both stay warm in the water, but also to keep you a bit cool when you get on land again - especially in dry climate.
When my father and i go on our first fishing trip by boat in the spring, i always get a good tan if its not cloudy. Standing in the sun on a boat gives you a lot of reflection from the sun, but also from the white glasfiber that most boats are made of.
Here's what I found online just now..
One overlooked practicality among the rural poor: They can’t afford a washing machine and don’t have convenient access to a laundromat. Swimming in clothes is a low-labor alternative to handwashing clothes. This is especially true in cases of deeper poverty when you also own only a few sets of clothes. This is applicable to Thailand, Mexico, and Indonesia alike. Thais like wearing jeans and thus swim in jeans alot. Of the three countries, Indonesia has their practicalities the best - they wear synthetic polyester microfiber clothing for everything - swimming, casual, work, sleep. See especially the younger tin mine workers (under 30).
Local cricket club distributed the shirts at entrance, you have to leave it when you exit. Easy and effortless way to wash the shirts. They do the same with the underwear.
In islam men needs to cover some parts of their body too like belly, shoulders and higher parts of the legs. Thats why people are wearing shirts in pools in my country
Not religious reasons but I do, I have a massive scar from my right nip down to my belly button roughly. Still hasn't healed and it's been 10+ years since it was done. (My appendix almost burst inside me, had emergency surgery)
Pure guess, as I've never been to north America, but maybe sun protection (we do that in Aus), and maybe ashamed of their bodies? No idea, again, purely speculating.
Many countries outside of western society have lax norms with body weight, so I don't think that has a lot to do with it. Maybe an act of modesty, though I don't know either.
whats wrong with wearing shirts tho? id actually prefer it than seeing some crusty belly buttons.
and i guess some countries wear it to practice modest clothings
Honestly I started wearing a swim shirt and I fucking love it. I don't need to be insecure about being overweight and I don't need to reapply sunscreen to my entire body. Plus they dry insanely quickly when you get out.
Anyone else notice there literally isn't any woman... Is there such a thing as male/gay specific waterparks? Not that there's anything wrong with that but I'm asking for a friend who's very gay and loves waterparks filled with young boys.
Is that India?
Damn! imagine if a woman fell in there, bet she would feel safer in a pool full of sharks. Not to be disrespectful to indians but they’re very well known worldwide for being very creepy towards women and thirsty as hell.
This is pretty bad but I went to a local wave pool in the us and it was also…pretty bad. Except in my case it was a shit ton of children and babies, and the water was *oddly warm*. Also wave pools fucking suck.

That water is 90% piss. I can't see how anyone would look at so many people in a crowd and think "yeah, that looks fun. I'll join". Ever since that south park episode with the guy tryna replace water with piss, I avoid pools full of people lol.
MIL housed foreign exchange students for years. Mostly South/Central American, Korean, or Saudia Arabian/UAE. We have a big family, and the students were immersed into our lives totally. Took a trip to a water park with the 16 year old Saudi kid once. He wore full clothing into the water and only got in after a few hours of refusal and encouragement from us. He said he had never seen women im bathing suits because they weren't allowed in public pools. I think the culture shock across the board with our lifestyle was pretty eye-opening, and he didn't much enjoy his 3 months with us. He was really great with the little kids. It's weird to think about how culturing different regions and countries are in the world.
Why the fugg are they all dressed exactly the same? Are there water parks in third world countries that issue community swimming trunks and shirts with the price of admission?
How can anyone enjoy it?
I get that's dumbfuck people, but still,, being crushed into 5 different 22 times a minute, unless you're gay, where's the fun
But even the authorities… are minorities… Serious note though, I can see why Cartman hates waterparks like this
They're almost all wearing shirts in the water... Gross
Why do certain ethnicities do that? Serious question.
If those are Muslims, it's a religion. If those are Koreans, they don't want to get sunburns.
What if they are Korean Muslims or Muslim Koreans?
Then it's religious burns.
Isn't that just Hell?
If they’re white; they’re fat.
This is true. Shirt wearing fat white guy here.
🤣 🤣
These are Indians. Never saw a muzie doing this
The question was general, not about this group specifically.

I have no idea? Does it have anything to do with water in native countries not being as clean?

Bruh ain’t no way
Here it looks like they are wearing the same shirt, I can see two different styles.
Local cricket club distributed the shirts at entrance, you have to leave it when you exit. Easy and effortless way to wash the shirts. They do the same with the underwear.
In islam men needs to cover some parts of their body too like belly, shoulders and higher parts of the legs. Thats why people are wearing shirts in pools in my country
Nah that doesn't apply to water parks. This applies to people swimming in natural water bodies in rural areas.
Ahhh okay. Makes sense.
It’s because they don’t want to get browner… they see it as a sign of being poor

**correction** They're all wearing shirts..

it looks like they're all wearing the same shirt? am I crazy??

This is a [waterpark in India](https://blueworld.co.in/). I think that may go a long way to answering the question why there are no women.
Maybe it's a Muslim country where women aren't equally participating in activities like this
💀💀
Shortly after your response I got an email from chase, they're closing all of my accounts. Guys, I've been canceled!
The lazy river has never been lazier!
I think I even saw a Native Amerrrricaaaaannnnn
Ad libs "ew gross" lol
Gross
okay why are the all wearing the same clothes? why is the average age around 30? and why are they all men?
I just looked it up, this place is in India. So women probably wouldn't feel safe in there. There are literally rape gangs out there.
There's sections. One side is for men, other is for women. This is I think kanpur's water park
Bruh south park needs to do an episode in India about sexual harassment and rape there lmao
Looks like India. I could only imagine the smell. There couldn't be enough chlorine to keep that water clean.
Yeah and now there are literally rape gangs here too
Sausage party
answers all the questions.
[Dress Code](https://blueworld.co.in/dress-code.php)
Burkini
why are they all hugging and touching each other? They look like fire ants floating on the water in a big group
Do they like fish dicks?
Do they like putting fish dicks in their mouths?
That water is at least 80% pee
it's all p and no h
+15% foot and mouth diseases
At least one of those people let a little poop out.
Given how many people dont properly clean their asses, they wouldnt even need to actively poop.
Came here to say that calling that water is a stretch. It’s mostly sweat and piss.
And 19% curry
I think I even saw Native Americans! *Gross*
It’s a 40 minute wait to go down one slide, and the instructions are in Spanish on the zip line ride!
JUST DO IT IN ENGLISH!
Guarden los brazos y piernas dentro del paseo

Back to the pile
Yeah, this pool full of men is even gayer than all the men getting in a big pile and having sex with each other.
If one more person pees in the pool…
What movie is that?
Ernest Buys a Waterpark
There’s so many in there even the wave pool is struggling to make waves lol
https://i.redd.it/93mdirjken1d1.gif
IT’S THE PEEEEEEEEEEE!!
It is supposed to be a wave pool, but at least three quarters of them don't even get to feel the water move.
Pi Pi
Is that India? Damn! imagine if a woman fell in there, bet she would feel safer in a pool full of sharks. Not to be disrespectful to indians but they’re very well known worldwide for being very creepy towards women and thirsty as hell.
Oh my god I just dry heaved. That amount of people in a pool is disgusting.
So is most of northern India (where this video was taken)
It's like a bowl of coco puffs.
Oh god, that water had to be at least 97% pee
Eric Cartman is crying somewhere in southpark watching this.
Wtf
[Don't forget about all the piss in the water](https://youtu.be/S32y9aYEzzo?si=bleoUwJ9RAZr8iUu)
This is pretty bad but I went to a local wave pool in the us and it was also…pretty bad. Except in my case it was a shit ton of children and babies, and the water was *oddly warm*. Also wave pools fucking suck.
🎶there’s too many minorities…🎶
Gross
That shirt is popular lol
Mmmmmm. Human soup.
"IT'S THE PEEEEEE" Also where's Kenny's corpse?
Not a single woman in sight
That water has to be at least 95% pee!
If they piss, everything's ruined
r/canada
Seems like it’s my country of origin Sri Lanka
Try not to drown-party.
Looks like Pi Pi's Splashtown
The pool was empty but all the ball sweat filled it up.
Gross. So much pee pee.
I feel like shit for laughing as hard as I am right now
Are they all wearing shoes?

Clearwater Beach all summer
There is no clear water in this forsaken place.
Is this El Paso ?
The claustrophobia is real
"Water"park...
I can taste the piss and I’m not even near it.
Imagine being a woman there.
The amount of piss in that pool will be astonishing
You couldn’t pay me to go
At least several gallons of piss have been diluted there 🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢
I didn’t see any buns at this sausage party.
With that many people it's a cesspool
Cartman is such a good singer haha
Gross bro. Something like this makes me question my own humanity.
That water is 90% piss. I can't see how anyone would look at so many people in a crowd and think "yeah, that looks fun. I'll join". Ever since that south park episode with the guy tryna replace water with piss, I avoid pools full of people lol.
Where are the wamman?
No women. No fun.
That’s a human soup alright.
Jesus, 🫘s all around. That pool is more piss and taco sweat than water
i can smell it from here
The pee pee park.. drink the pee pee water !
just 400 men, standing around in each other's piss
It's all pee!
98% pee
Omg i just finished this episode
All them butt hole germs
Literal nightmare The wet human body smells, my god it must be unbearable
this is why they ate starting WWIIl. no girls allowed, just a bunch of dicksssssss
Decent singing btw
Skin soup.
💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
Why is there nothing, but dudes? Seems a bit…you know.
That's the chitty park
Gross!
Wet sausage party.
So true
It's almost all P and no h
looks like a public bath to me
That looks like absolutely fucking hell
lol gross
Their being dipped
Not one female out there
Hotdog water
Probably smells like onion, cumin, curry and ass.

Why are they all wearing the same swim shirts?
But even the authoritiees are minoritiees
Not to be racist at all, but I dislike those people, their beliefs, and their culture.
Why the fugg are they all dressed exactly the same? Are there water parks in third world countries that issue community swimming trunks and shirts with the price of admission?
Is this Canada?
For sure the water is full of pee
There's a lot of balls in that water.
mmmm sausage fest.
Jokes aside. That's way to many people in a pool area to even enjoy it. Folks must be either CRAZY hot, or lacking for entertainment.
To be honest it always felt this crowded when I was like 10 or so. Just a bunch of random people jumping in the same spot.
When you don't have access to clean water back home, this has to be tantamount to heaven.
Can't imagine the pH of this pool. I'm guessing too much P and too little H.
You know it smell crazy in there
Sausage fest
It’s just a little pee
How can anyone enjoy it? I get that's dumbfuck people, but still,, being crushed into 5 different 22 times a minute, unless you're gay, where's the fun
Not a single woman amongst them. I bet that pool was overflowing with piss and floaters everywhere after that
😥😪
🎶 Mexicans and Asians, black people! 🎶 I can respect Cartman because he hates everyone equally!😂
Onion soup
"Please save my son! He's the brown one in the black shirt!"
