On August 24, 2024, three women dressed in revealing swimsuits were refused access to the pool at Remich (a commune in southeastern Luxembourg) by a lifeguard, who claimed their attire was illegal.

However, in Luxembourg, there is no legislation prohibiting the wearing of covering attire in public bathing areas, leaving each bathing establishment to make its own decision. This creates disparities across the country and a feeling of discrimination for those who are denied access.

It would be advisable to standardize this possibility at national level to avoid situations of exclusion for certain women, remembering that the length of the swimsuit has nothing to do with hygiene and safety criteria, which are often invoked to justify the ban on long swimsuits.
