Why would a yacht club have a policy discouraging bikinis 👙?

Question

In the Yacht Club’s policy of appropriate swimwear on the grounds it says that “one piece swimwear is encoraged for women on the yacht club grounds and in yacht club pools”

Why would a yacht club frown on bikinis and prefer “traditional Miss America Style swimwear”?

Update:

The yacht 🛥 club also encourages women to keep a “Miss America” type look? Why do they have this policy? 

Answer 1

It's their land, so they can make up any rules that they want. If you have your own land then maybe you can make up your own rules.

Answer 2

It would appear that they are saying that they have certain standards. Today it seems that anything will pass as a bikini including 2 little round band aids and a cork.

Answer 3

Possibly someone on the committee was spotted ogling by their wife?

Fair to say also not every woman wearing a bikini should.

Answer 4

Mabey grandma in her 2-peice hasn't been mowing the lawn

Answer 5

The are about the Naval, boats.  They do not want to see navels.

Answer 6

Elitist policy and there were too many yacht accidents related to ogling.

Answer 7

It's to maintain appropriate attire in an age when people like you do not know what is appropriate.
