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.

In Luxembourg, however, there is no legislation prohibiting the wearing of revealing clothing in public bathing areas, leaving it up to the individual bathing sites to decide. This creates disparities across the country, and a feeling of discrimination for those 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.
