David Cavel, president of Whitstable Rotary Club, thought he was buying a merman costume but accidentally bought a full-length gimp suit.
The 71-year-old bought the black, full-length latex suit to promote a sponsored swim for Kent Air Ambulance – his chosen charity of the year.
But when he showed his daughter Piroska, she informed him he had mistakenly bought a gimp costume instead.
Unknown to him, the tight, rubber attire is more commonly used in sado-masochistic sex sessions.
David said: "She burst out laughing as soon as she saw it and said 'Dad, that's what they call a gimp suit!'
"I didn't know what it was but when she told me I thought it accounted for the odd emails I've been sent since I bought it."
However, the innocent mix-up proved not to be a total disaster as David's artistic wife Marika managed to create a merman outfit by cutting the suit in half and decorating the tail. David has since been wearing the suit in training for the sponsored swim.

All right, I'll ask the obvious question:
So how did his daughter happen to know this? I mean, I consider myself fairly well exposed (usually via pics) to assorted weirdnesses, and I'd never heard of a "gimp suit."
