Hi All

I came across this swim wear range and wanted sangats advice whether it is suitable/appropriate in your opinion for a Singhni to wear this during swimming?

Currently I wear swimming leggings, a full sleeved swimming top, remove dastar and tie a patka but obviously this does not help to keep Kesh dry; swimming cap is a no no as it won't fit over my joora and patka and big head

After go home and dry your hair. No reason to look like a Muslim lol.

When I swim I just wear my dumala etc and wash my hair when I get home and dry the hair either with a blow dryer or fan dry it.

I wear boyleg swimsuit it covers my kacherra fine speedo do a great range which are modest without being bulky and encumbering...I tie my dastar round my waist under the suit and put a swim cap on as chlorine is pretty harsh on Kesh , tip put extra oil on hair beforehand makes washing chlorine out easier. Kanga stays in jooda fine . makes easier to use goggles as well . Sikhi is practical if you cannot move you will not develop swimming strength and speed so cover up enough , no one is going to pay attention to your legs or arms .

What do you guys do about your sarbloh shastars? I haven't gone swimming in ages because I'm scared my kirpan will get rusty.

I come home switch my gatra and Kirpan for a day or so. I leave the wet Kirpan open for about a day. Then I clean it and it looks like new :)

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
