Mini bikini in public

Hello.I would like to ask if you have any experience with wearing women's micro bikinithat you have on offer in your shop, at public swimming pools and wellness centres in the Czech Republic? I lost a bet and now I'm going to have to buy something like this. I would hate to wear them and then get kicked out y the pool because of a substandard swimsuit.
Thank you.Regards K. (name has been anonymised to protect the interviewer)

Summary: Mini bikinis cover intimate areas and leave a loose background, which is commonly accepted at swimming pools. This makes expulsion from the swimming pool extremely unlikely. In the Czech Republic, and presumably in Western EU countries, this is neither an offence nor a criminal offence.

First of all, check the swimming pool's visitor regulations. For example, the Podolí Prague swimming stadium refers to good manners. This can be interpreted very strictly or loosely. It is common for women to swim there without bras or bikinis with only a strip on their buttocks. The micro bikinis referred to should therefore pass. If a swimming pool was not specified in the bet, a nude beach is a sure bet. Some swimming pools even have separate sections for nudists, which are sometimes not commonly known about. From a hygiene point of view, then, there is no difference in swimming without a swimsuit and with a swimsuit. Except for children and possibly individuals who perhaps don't even go in the pool, where swimsuits prevent excrement from escaping. Therefore, swimwear is usually required for swimming in the pool. What is problematic is regular clothing made of non-swimming material and that is not the case here.

The mini bikini covers intimate areas and leaves the bottom loose. This is commonly accepted at swimming pools, so the offence of § 5 (e) of Act No. 251/2016 Coll. of the Czech Republic. The element of fault (intention or negligence) will not be fulfilled because you lived in the belief supported by long-term practice in swimming pools that today no one can be offended by this act in the swimming pool. Quite possibly, the objective aspect would not be fulfilled either - i.e. that wearing the given bikini in the swimming pool today in Western countries does not even have the capacity to arouse public outrage. Regarding wellness, the situation will be even more relaxed.

Even with full nudity in a normal swimming pool in Western countries, it would probably not be an offence, as the public would not be offended.

It's certainly not a crime. The offence of rioting does not qualify the conduct in question at all, cf. § 358 of Act No. 40/2009 Coll. Criminal Code of the Czech Republic.

Fulfilling the elements of a misdemeanor would be questionable in Western countries even in the case of nudity in an ordinary public space, such as a street. For example, naked protests, runs or bike rides are common in Western countries without public outrage.
