Rules on cosplaying at the pool

Mind that your cosplay is waterproof and chlorine-resistant. This also includes your make-up, clothes, and wig. You are not to swim or dive with your wig. This is to prevent pollution and damage to the pool by cosplay wigs and materials (such as mermaid pearls). However, there will be underwater photo shoots at a specific time and place where you are allowed to wear your wig underwater after deliberation. A monofin is allowed. However, if the monofin is part of a costume, then the costume needs to be waterproof too.
