One of the things I've noticed during my stay in India is that people do not swim in swimwear
Why wear a bikini or swimming shorts when you can just walk into the water in your saree?
So 
That is when it occurred to me that no one is wearing swimwear.
Obviously, my first reaction was..
I mean even the lifeguard, you know, the person who is supposed to keep an eye out on the beach? The guy who is supposed to be in hot, sexy swimshorts and a carries whistle. The person who has a surfboard to get and safe to people in distress. Yes, that one!
Well, I think the description above describes him perfectly.
Socially unacceptable
So apparently, showing skin is a big thing. Showing skin or even body-hugging clothing is definitely frowned upon, especially if you're female. According to my friends from conservative families, you're seen as a sl-t, as soon as you show some skin. Shorts? Don't be crazy. Tank tops? What a wh-re. Let alone bikinis or even a bathing suit, oh no, that is too much skin or body shape showing.
So instead, they just walk in with clothes.
I really wonder how much they would love swimwear when they realize it's not heavy and dries wat faster than cotton. I know I love not swimming in clothes.
