Is there a fixed length that should be between her bathing suit and her knees? How does that rule apply to shorter/taller women? Can a 3 ft tall woman basically swim in a thong?

Six inches over the knee, I think.

You've probably put more thought into it than the lawmakers did just by asking these simple questions. Terribly silly stuff.
