Correct, shorts are also banned. The same city tried to change that to but got shot down there too.
Since state and religion are separated, public pools cannot make an exception based on religion. France had fairly strict hygienic rules for public swimming pools, which prohibit loose fitting garments.
I can't tell if you're joking or not
The thing they said about this ridiculous mandatory speedo rule is true. But this here is still all about racism. They could just make an exception. This would not be an issue at all if it weren't an opportunity for politicians to spew anti-Muslim hate.
I'm not, this has nothing to do with women's rights
Of course not it's just Apartheid against Muslims. France tried doing this even for beaches. https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/burkini-ban-france-overturned-1.3736823
It's true. Some people wore surf shorts all day and didn't change. So... That's the current situation.
