- Visitors to women-only night told to only wear 'Islamically appropriate' attire
- Only female lifeguards will be on duty and the park will provide a prayer room
- Park says 'female-only' event is not specific to any ethnic or religious group'
A water park has been accused of stirring up religious tension by holding a women-only night aimed at Muslims where bikinis are banned.
Visitors to WaterWorld have been told they must cover up with Islamically appropriate attire, and that the venues windows will be blacked out to protect their modesty.
Female-only lifeguards will patrol the pool and the centre will provide a prayer room.

I’ve known women/girls from very strict Christian sects that would probably be more comfortable in similar circumstances than at a typical water park.

Where is this? The best I can figure is Dubai. Judging from the pictures it is not the UK. The water slide in a burka should be fun and provide numerous drownings.

This is in the UK. Stoke-on-Trent is a city in Staffordshire, England.

Oops, posted too soon... not that any of them would be cool with the Islamic prayer stuff, but the modesty and female lifeguards would have worked for some I’ve known,

This almost reads like bad satire, or a some writer’s attempt to show what a pitiful Western nation would look like in the far future.
But the future is now.

Actually, the Brits should ban their women being in bikinis 7 days a week.

What happens when a transgender wants in? An excellent question. Maybe that's why everyone has to wear a burqa.

It appears to be a private water park in UK which is trying a Muslim-friendly day for Muslim women.
I would love to see a bunch of pre-operation trans-sexuals demand admission that night.

I thought Stoke-on-Trent was some slang I didn’t understand. Trent? Palm trees? Sun? Wow.

Way back in the 1960s, I worked as lifeguard at a private community pool for two summers. They had a "women's only" night that was appropriate for nuns and for Muslims. All women could attend if they wore appropriate attire. Me too, as lifeguard. FWIW my short-skirted heavier cotton swim dress with modest but non-restrictive lines is quite attractive. Those swim dresses actually frame the body quite nicely. And it's much easier to swim in that swim dress than in those weird patches of fabric that pretend to be swimsuits in the SI Swimsuit edition.
So, yeah, I'm okay with a women's only swim night with a dress code. Back then, it was a very nice, discrete, welcoming environment.
