So far as I can make out, the rule is to prevent young lads who may have been wearing the same pair of shorts all week from going into the pool wearing them.

By banning all types of shorts (even my other clearly marked 'Speedo' swimming ones weren't deemed suitable) they avoid potential arguments.

The sensible approach is to 'do as the Romans - or in this case the French - do' and accept that they do things differently over there.
Aha.

I reckon the sensible approach would be for all the swimming pools along your route - and any which you may choose to visit ad hoc - to apprise themselves of your plans far enough in advance to allow them to ban everybody else from the pool, irrespective of age, gender and how long ago they washed their tackle.

That way you can wear whatever you like, including that stripy Edwardian onesie.

You know, the costume that makes you look like a humbug on legs...

What about the knitted ones my dad and his mates in the Royal Artillery were wearing in the '40's?

I've never worn shorts on my top parts.

My father had knitted, swimming trunks, I never forget the day, he was coming back up the beach from the sea
When his trunks, popped into holes, and my Mum running towards him with a towel to cover him up.
