Swim where?

Here's the bottom of the rules and regulations sign posted by the swimming pool in a Minnesota motel.

















Choose your favorite aspect:

A. The inconsistent spelling and capitalization of swimwear (Swim Wear? swim ware?).
B. The awkwardness of the phrasing in "no children allowed under 12" and in the additional guidelines.
C. The fact that the motel's trying to evade any liability for people ruining their swimwhair (swimwere?) by donning non-chlorine-resistant garb. Who does that? Are people going for a dip in their fine woolens?

You want to know what rule was omitted but turned out to be sorely needed? Thou shalt not deposit a log in the pool. While our group was away for dinner, someone defiled the pool, so my kid and his cousins missed a chance to swim while the pool was sanitized.

I can't wait to get my camera phone so I can start taking pictures of these kinds of things. My favorite thus far was the "Virginia Pain Company." (The 't' had gone out and stayed like that for months. It was great!)

My favorite is definitely C.
Maybe they mean things you sell while swimming?
