They look like derpy wet suits. Although some are definitely worse looking than others.
Hygiene is indeed a weird argument when you swim in a giant fish toilet.

The hygiene part made me laugh, given the photo. That beach is full of children most likely peeing in the water and there's a container ship in the distance, discharging god knows what into the sea.

Someone whose swimsuit has a bit more material in it is not a threat.

I read a survey once that had a large number of adults pee in the water too. It's not just children.

Now that you mention it, I do myself, but not if there are people nearby.

That beach looks like a hellscape to be honest, there are just way too many people there. I bet the water has things like sticking plasters floating in it.
