I had scheduled a swim lesson.  Paid my money.  Stepped out from the locker room in my Speedo swim trunks and immediately got a “you’re not swimming in those!” from the “lifeguard”.  Why? Seems they got a rule about swimwear, i.e. marble bags for men and nothing more decent is acceptable.  Why?  Because you can wear trunks out on the streets.  What’s wrong with that?  Didn’t get any reasonable answers except hostility from a couple of members standing nearby, wearing marble bags. From the hostility I received, I think the rule about marble bags is just to keep out foreigners because most expats & tourists wear trunks and locals wear marble bags (they’re cheaper).  Also, they swim width-wise and not length-wise i.e. you’re not allowed to swim 50m in a 50 metre pool!
