Tuesday, July 19, 2005 - Preserving modesty, in the pool By Lornet Turnbull At the Everett Family YMCA, women of different faith — "Muslim, Jewish and Christian — come together for twice-monthly swims through a program organized three years ago by Interfaith Association of Snohomish County.

Karen Fagerberg, associate executive director of the Everett Family YMCA, said that on a slow day they see four people, and on a busy day 30-plus. "The program is not just for Muslim women, but Christians and Jewish women, too.

"That's nice. It's not segregated but brings Christians, Muslims and Jews to socialize together and play together."

It's from the article. Always helps if you read it first.

I read the entire article and the pool you reference is not the one that is the subject of the article, about which it clearly states, "all muslim". Try to keep it real.
