**ETA** Woman Wins Right To LEGALLY Swim Topless In Public Pool.

^^ Because she has no breasts, after battling breast cancer.


I just saw this story on my local news.


Discuss! :)

ETA: Everyone keeps asking WHY she would want to swim topless?
From what I understood, the lack of a top helps speed swimmers to swim faster (which is what she's training to be).

Honestly, she obviously has very high confidence and having to lose her boobs to cancer doesn't affect her, i think its awesome. She is very brave to want to do this, imo!!

Men have nipples just like I do. If I have to wear a top so should they.

Yes, because she's a woman.

Quoting doomshroom:

cover what up? just because she's a woman? i don't get it..


Quoting AdellesMom:

Uhmm...so what? There are men with bigger breasts than mine that swim shirtless--they're men. I think that she should cover up.

Quoting Chris030406:

Why would her not having breasts matter? I've seen men with more cleavage than myself, yet I'm the one that has to be covered!



Topless for all!

I don't see anything wrong either way, whether she has boobs or not.

she should still wear a wetsuit.  I was a swimmer.  unless she's shaving every inch of her body, she's gonna have drag from her upper body.
