I've only seen two or three leisure centres here offer them.

Over east, i'm sure there are more..Especially after the Cronulla incident a few years ago.

It was big news when the Surf Lifesaving Australia accepted a young lady w a burquini to become a lifesaver at Cronulla beach.

You're better informed than most non-Muslim women in North America about that fact alone in your area, CC. Interesting about the young lady as lifeguard.

Not in North America but in heavily Muslim countries
