Funny you should mention that - that's the solution they've proposed. Along with the women in Blackbird Leys who have a women-only swimming session and recommend finding similar women-only sessions at other pools.
Although of course when they did the story on the radio, with an announcer that's American but lived in Oxford for thirty years, it's hard to tell the difference between burqinis and bikinis, especially as he didn't explain and just said something like "Muslim women intending to swim in the pools are requested to wear burqinis instead" so without awareness of the product it does sound like bikini!
