Swimming Hijabis

From my sister's local paper: there are arguments going on in Oxford over whether Muslim women should be able to swim in hijab.

Aren't there burqinis in Oxford?

The "balaclava" part is called the "hijood" (get it? hijab/hood). And yes, the hijood is a separate piece, so it can presumably be removed.
