Ayatollah Khamenei (may God protect him):
If there is certainty that no foreign man will see her, then there is no objection to it in itself; otherwise, it is not permissible. It is the responsibility of the individual to determine this.

Ayatollah Sistani (may God protect him):
If she knows that a foreign man can see her, it is not permissible for her to uncover herself, whether in the pool or elsewhere.
However, if she is not certain that a foreign man is looking at her, then there is no objection.
