But did he go in? Don't answer: it'll kill the ambiguity!

Isn't he a likely to be an Atlantic surfboarder rather than swimmer?

The last I saw of him, he was swimming.  In fact, I don't think I saw him on the board at any point. It's a moot point.

Did you go after him to point out that he hadn't seen the sign? ;)

No I didn't. A lot of people ignore that sign even though the beach is one of the most dangerous in the country and has taken lives over the years. It's a favourite for surfers who come from everywhere for the consistently high waves.

You're sure it's not a Burkini?  :D

My Irish colleagues were particularly amused by the idea of Nice trying to ban women from swimming in wrist-to-ankle full coverage black...
