“Some media claimed last summer Vienna officials considered banning guests at public swimming pools from wearing baggy Bermudas as they take around -> 2.5 litres<- of water with them every time they get out of the pool after a swim. “

Junk science. Unless these “Baggy Bermudas” are made of Shamwow materials.

2.5 liters is about 5 pounds of water. Even a sham-wow burka can't hold that much weight.

If my bathing suit gained 5 pounds when I went into the water, it'd have a tendency to be negatively affected by gravity when I came out

Maybe the translation was corrupted when they converted from Austrian to English (/S)
