Aluche swimming pool will have a swimwear-optional day in June

The proposal does not require anyone to change how they enjoy the pool. Each visitor can decide whether to enter the water in a bikini, swimsuit, or without swimwear, in an environment intended to be calm, respectful, and welcoming to people of all ages and backgrounds.

The event follows a similar experience held at the Lago pool in Casa de Campo, where the response was notable. According to the organisers, more than 60% of attendees chose not to wear swimwear, with around 350 people taking part in the activity.

Behind the initiative are nudist associations and groups that advocate for non-sexualised nudity in public spaces. Their aim is to open a conversation about dress codes, our relationship with our own bodies, and the right to share municipal facilities without making differences a source of discomfort.

The event will maintain the usual rules of municipal pools. Photos and videos may not be taken without consent, staff and other users must be respected, and any harassment or invasive behaviour may result in expulsion from the premises.

Families can also attend with children, as the activity is intended as a day of togetherness and not as an adults-only event. The key is respect: those who want to wear swimwear can do so, and those who prefer not to will also have that option.

The Aluche pool is one of the summer landmarks in Latina, with spacious facilities and green areas that usually bring together neighbours of all ages. That is why the choice of venue is not accidental: the idea is to bring a proposal for body freedom to a neighbourhood pool, not to a closed or niche setting.

This event adds a different debate to the pool season. It does not change the rules for the whole summer, but it does open up a day to try another way of using a public space: one more focused on togetherness, consent, and the acceptance of real bodies.
