“Our beloved Prophet, Peace Be Upon Him (PBUH) said all Muslim men and women should learn to swim in case of an emergency like flood, drowning, water voyage and war.
We should teach our children how to swim at an early age, but swimming should be considered a very private event in the family with a proper bathing suit. Immediately after swimming lessons are finished the children should wear their regular long, loose, modest Islamic clothing.
Swimming in public beaches or swimming pools and walking around with a bathing suit on or playing around the beach with a bathing suit gradually eliminates the child's shame, modesty (Sharm or Haya) or shyness. After a while it becomes natural for these children to walk with short pants and a bra. In places like Southern France gradually children and youngsters learn to go swimming topless and they walk in the streets with little clothing.
For the children who grow up with a swimming suit instead of regular clothing without any shame, as teenagers they go out without bra and tank top shirts with no remorse. When bikinis become regular clothes, shame goes out the window. Short skirts and hot pants are considered cover for a bathing suit. They are the children who will have premarital s*x, s*xually transmitted diseases, teenage pregnancy and extra marital s*x even when they are married.
When there is no shame and no respect for one's body or skin, then the divorce rate goes up to 90% and traditional family values become meaningless. You cannot correct this problem at the age 15 or older. You must address the problem at a very early age if you would like to save your children's family life.” Icbg.org
