Question
Can a woman in a modest swimsuit enter a pool with her brothers-in-law?
Answer
Shalom u'vracha
It is strictly forbidden.
As explained in the Gemara (Gittin 90b) and bathes with people. With people? Rather, in a place where people bathe.
Rashi explains, in a place where people bathe - and she enters their sight after their exit when they are dressing.
It is explained that merely being in a place where men bathe, even not in the same pool, but passing in front of them to bathe, is considered true immodesty.
