Wetlook World Forum

I recently tried a few clubs with varying results. First visit I asked at the front desk if clothes are ok and the attendant just nodded. Had a nice swim and nobody said anything. A week later I went back and asked again at the front desk (different attendant). He said he would have to check with his manager. When the manager joined she first said no, because of concerns for other visitors. When I pointed out that I wash the clothes beforehand she almost said yes, but last minute decided to check with the reginal manager. That verdict came back as a final no. Club #2 said straight out no. Club #3 said it's fine at the front desk and I did my swim. After ~20min somebody from the cleaning crew came over and told me I can't swim in jeans and t-shirt and that a couple of people had approached him about it. When I pointed out that I had checked with the front desk and that the clothes are freshly washed he said it's fine then and even apologized for interrupting me. I have a feeling that future visits will end up with another no over time like club #1. I would love to find a fitness club where I can go consistently with long opening hours as a backup to the community pool where they never care about clothes.

Anybody tried something similar? Has anybody worked at fitness clubs and seen how this topic is addressed internally? Would love to hear your insights!
