🏊 Swimming - Cap and tights required at all beaches?

I remember being chased off regularly in Sizihwan everytime that I tried to get into water, unless when the warden was asleep

It’s like we’re getting punished for the locals’ inability to swim.

They roped off a smaller area in Taitung’s Flowing Water Lake, leaving the larger area for kayaks and rowing boats, but you don’t need a cap or a tight bathing suit.

That roped off square area has about a 300m perimeter - verified using Garmin watches. A friend and I once swam over 5,000m meters going around and around that thing! Pissed us off that the whole lake wasn’t open but we were determined to get in a long swim.

If I had a penny for every time a big nose has used this argument with a life guard in Taiwan, well I’d have a handful of pennies.

It is funny though when you’re literally in water up to your knees and some jobsworth is saying stand your ground, go no further…

No, it’s to keep hair and poo out of the water and filters. In the ocean it doesn’t matter.

So as long as you have no hair, you’re good to go?

No way Jose. As every baldy in Taiwan has discovered…you still need a swimming cap.

[SunWuKong]

You’d have to prove it, drapes and curtains.

Oh, ok. Me too. But I really didn’t want to know.

Bikini line. He doesn’t shave - banned from three pools and a pair of coffee shops.

You talk like a piece of shit.

Nono, the piece of shit was floating in the pool.

A bald bear? That’d be something.
