Auburn pool gets swim screen for Muslim women

PRIVACY curtains have been installed at a new public pool in Auburn so Muslim women can swim without being seen by other pool users.

The lightweight curtain runs around the glass walls of the program pool where female-only swimming sessions are held for two hours each Sunday. Pool staff can draw the curtain to block the view into pool when the sessions are held.

General manager Anthony McIntosh said it was a move to make the pool accessible for all cultural groups.

“Having the blinds means they can use it in the middle of the day and still have full access.”

Traditionally, women wearing the hijab have had to fork out for modesty swimsuits or not swim at all but the privacy of the new pool means they can be comfortable in a female-only setting.

Similar facilities have attracted controversy at other council pools within Sydney and interstate but the operator is within its rights to section off the pool under the anti-discrimination act.

Section 126 states that exemptions to the act can be granted in order: “to provide people of a particular race with equal or improved access to facilities, services or opportunities to meet their special needs”

Auburn Council general manager Malcolm Ryan supports the move.

The Auburn Ruth Everuss Aquatic Centre offers ladies only swimming every Sunday from 3pm to 5pm at the program pool.

Australians are being discriminated against in their own country in the name of multicultural enrichment. Any chance men can have their men only clubs back!!!

How many white fellas do you really think will be "offended" from 3-5pm on a Saturday in Sydney at their local pool?
