The answer

The majority of scholars define the awrah (private parts) as being between the navel and the knee, citing prophetic hadiths that prohibit uncovering the thigh and consider it part of the awrah. There is no harm in entering a swimming pool if it is free of women, and the men present are covering their awrah, and you yourself are covering your awrah.
