The internet is debating the appropriateness of a woman's impromptu photo shoot in what appears to be a public pool full of children.

A video shared by the Twitter account Influencers In The Wild, set up to document and often mock the bizarre things people will do for content, shows a woman raising the lower half of her body out of the water, while another woman stands on the edge of the pool taking a photo.

This is totally appropriate right? 🤦🏼‍♂️ pic.twitter.com/maJBpsTjIf

At first glance the woman appears to be totally naked, while children drift through the foreground in floaties.

But it appears she may in fact be wearing a tiny bikini.

As it so often does, the account that shared the video sided against the unidentified "influencer", however reaction from the wider Twitter public was mixed.

"It's never appropriate for adults to expose themselves to children in a highly sexual manner," one poster wrote. "This woman should face charges."

"Honestly, if a bloke had done that in swimming togs, no one would have noticed bar maybe the photographing, which was noticeable," another commented.

Some suggested the naysayers were being a little too uptight about the situation.

"She has a body and is existing with it in a pool," one wrote in defence. "Kids won't pay any mind. Let her feel her damn oats."

Self-confessed parents claimed they would have intervened if the incident had occurred while their children were in the pool, however several adults in the video appear content to watch on.
