Why sick in the head? It's normal to put something on when walking to a pool at a different location.


I honestly wouldn't have an issue with walking to another location in a bathing suit, for a 3.5 year old.

When my DD was four, I sent her to the playgroup of a neighbor, who happens to be the daughter of one of Lakewood's big Poskim. She also continued summer daycamp. They used to swim in a grassy area on the side of the house. I could see it from my window. The girls - mostly 4 year olds - would go out in their bathing suits. No issue. Very yeshivish/frum crowd.

By 5-6 I sent to Shevach, and the older groups there wore coverups or robes when going to and from the pool.

I would not put my daughter that age in a cover up for tznius reasons but I do worry about sun burn so I am planning to get bathing suits that have more coverage for this summer. My boys wears a swim shirt and bathing suits to the knee which keeps a lot of their skin out of the sun. I would like something protective for my daughter also.

My daughter is older, she’s already 6, so she needs a cover up for camp. I’m getting her a shirt and shorts bathing suit, because she has super sensitive skin, and I can’t rely on teenaged moros to appropriately put sunscreen on her.

I'd think the sensitivity should be about teaching kids to be appropriately dressed in public areas. Same as not going out in underwear. Self-dignity.



This.

This is what the morah means. It's not appropriate to go traipsing down the block in a bathing suit.

In my neighborhood our rav tells the boys it's inappropriate to be walking around in a bathing suit for the same reason.

I would say so, so she doesn't get burnt in the sun. Get her a bathing suit and a rash guard.
I got this, last year

(I have a feeling that is the same Morah in the story I wrote earlier. The rav in my story does have tzinius guidelines for 3 yr olds.
I just not convinced swimming in a pool is the same as walking down the block. To me it’s different. )
