  We request no tank tops, swim suits, swim cover-ups, excessively revealing attire, exposed undergarments, see-through clothing, sheer/mesh outfits, or attire with offensive language. You may find that some guests are dressed more formally, especially those celebrating special occasions. However, attire varies from comfortable shorts to the more formal.
