Belly Dancing Scarves for Swimming?

Yeah that's my biggest concern too. 😐

I was told once to cover the coins in clear fingernail polish. It's supposed to keep them from rusting and all.

This may have already been said but I only wear coin belts for dry work. I've found that they rust terribly after being in a pool (and the pool owners dont appreciate them all over the place. But also I am very mindful of what I am wearing and how it could affect the ocean (I do lots of ocean and aquarium work). I don't wear glitter or beaded or coin belts because of what effect they could have on the ocean or if swallowed. Much like the microbead issue. I do a couple of betls where there was net holding on the coins and beads. I took all the beads and coins off and now it has this perfect tattered net look to it which looks so authentic and I love. I do so much wet work now that i never get to wear my nice bellydance belts dammit! But I do really like my deconstructed one.

I love the idea of using a pirate flag as hip scarf... Pirate Mermaid life's for me!!
