The conservative rich old folk in Texas, male or female, do not ever, and I mean ever wash before getting in the pool. Seriously, I have been in a position to know and observe this and you can bet money on it. I have observed this in expensive private pools, country clubs and public pools. Another thing you will never see. One of them getting out to go to relive their bladder. It just doesn't ever happen and if they do go to the bathroom you can again be sure that they did not go to the shower before coming back.
They talk standards and manners but their version of class is the same as Trumps version of class and that goes way back.
The mask issue is just making their commitment to community standards obvious.
