I’m going to an event at a HSM base to do swimming (basic) but as a female cadet is okay for me to wear a swimming outfit that shows my stomach?
I would speak to your Sqn staff about what they deem suitable. The regulations say ‘Standard Swimwear’ - which is open to interpretation.
For a recent Region Swimming Championships, the following instruction was given:
“Female cadets are to wear proper one-piece swimsuits and boys to wear proper swimming trunks - 2-piece swimsuits/Bermuda shorts/boxer shorts/cycling shorts are not considered suitable”.

I’m not sure if I would be able to get another piece of swimwear in time. Would it be appropriate if I were to wear tighter shorts and shirt over swimwear?
It may also be worth mentioning that I’m not particularly comfortable in a lot of women’s swimwear as it’s to revealing of the lower half of my body.
I’m afraid I cannot speak for your Sqn - the above is just guidance. Do you have a Sqn cadet chat you can pose the question to?
Does the event on Cadet Portal offer any guidance as to type of swimwear that is acceptable?

The event does not carry information on it but I believe I may be able to do something about the situation. Thank you for your help it was very useful.
