However, it took a few months to persuade swimming pool owners that bikini tops are not required, according to Parool.
Bikini Tops Optional for Topless Swimming and Sunbathing: Women are permitted to swim without a top in Amsterdam’s pools, canals, and anywhere else where swimming is permitted. To emulate Berlin’s example, Sofyan Mbarki did not have to actively change any regulations. However, it took a few months to persuade swimming pool owners that bikini tops are not required, according to Parool.
Ilana Rooderkerk, a member of the D66 city council, urged Amsterdam in May to follow Berlin’s example and eliminate the bikini top requirement in public bathing areas. “Free the nipple,” she said at the conclusion of her speech at the time. Alderman Mbarki promised to check into the exact rules and whether there’s a need to change them.
It turns out that wasn’t required. “It was and still is possible for women to swim in the pool without a top,” he stated on Wednesday. In order to prevent incidents, he introduced this information to the attention of the swimming pools over the past few months. Women may also swim without a top in all other public bathing areas of the city.
