Mixed Swimming and Health Issues
Question
Hello Rabbi,
I’m reaching out because my mother is unsure what to do. She was told that she has a health problem that requires a lot of physical activity. The only realistic option is swimming in a mixed pool. May this be permitted? Of course, in the most modest swimsuit possible…
Thank you in advance
Answer
If that is the only option, and it prevents danger, then it is certainly permitted.
