how do women who cover up from head to toe go swimming?

Q: whilst on holiday in egypt i noticed nearly all the women cover from head to toe, so how would they go swimming?

A: They usually use special swim suit that is designed to satisfy islamic respect to her body from being exposed. However still The main issue is privacy and this is acheived by the following ways: (1) most swimming pools provide certain times during the day (or certain days during the week) for females only, so any girl can use it at these times freely, whether she is veiled (hijab or nikab) or not. and in this way they can wear anykind of swimming suit they want. as pool divers and workers are females too. (2) there are beaches are reserved for ladies certain days of the week (the same way with swimming pools) (3) there are hotels (specially in waterfront resorts) that are designed in a way so each hotel unit has its own swimming pool and which is surrounded with high trees to assure privacy for hotel guests (4) some acheive the same kind of privacy through building their own swimming pool in their house backyard (but this so costy) (5) some women go to beach early morning (before or after sunrise directly) with their men relatives and enjoy swimming. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- i m frustrated from the ignorance of some answerers about our society and the disrespect they show in their answers. greetings to Zoser.
