What is the guideline about touching areas normally covered by a bathing suit?

• A. don’t touch areas normally covered by a bathing suit
• B. touch them when appropriate
• C. high-five
• D. pat on the head

Answer: (A)

Maintaining clear personal boundaries means not touching areas normally covered by a bathing suit. Those areas are private, and touching them can violate privacy and raise safety concerns. The best guideline is to avoid touching those areas altogether unless there is a legitimate, consented reason with appropriate supervision, and the touch is minimal and respectful. Gestures like touching when you think it’s appropriate or casual actions such as high-fives or pats on the head don’t align with properly respecting private boundaries in this context.
