We've been to countless water parks & had non jewish swim instructors & I've never seen a lifeguard in a bikini. Waterparks have policies for lifeguards, usually they're in shorts and a tee. |
As the articles I attached show, they are neither inappropriate nor unprofessional.
What is both inappropriate and unprofessional is wearing clothing that is inappropriate for water, ie shorts and a tee shirt.

It’s really not inappropriate in the secular world. And I still think it’s better to have a female wearing a bikini for a 9 year old than a man for her dds.

the op writes nothing about daughters, just one 9 year old son. personally, I don't think its appropriate to have a female swim instructor for 9 year old boy. if she wore tzinius swim clothing I might consider it.

He needs a male instructor especially if he's a beginner swimmer. She will need to hold him jnthe water and teach him skills.
There are very sporty speedo bikinis and they are totally accepted for lifeguards and swim instructors. But it wouldn't work for a frum home anyway.

You don't have to choose between 2 evils. What people do is get a female instructor for girls and a male instructor for boys once they reach a certain age. Yes it's an expense but that's part of life...

Op, I never would have thought of it, but my husband wanted to ask our (very makil) rav about swimming lessons for our 8 year old son. He said it was fine but not once he is 9… not saying U hold that way, but I hadn’t even thought of it, so maybe u did not either. In any case a bikini isn’t ok

It sounds like you’re not comfortable with this OP. But what are your options? Risk offending the teacher? Continue as is? Neither are great choices...
