Our pool closed twice in the last month for filtration issues. The pool was so cloudy, you could barely see your way through the lane. It still is cloudy, hence, management has put up some very stringent shower rules, which, of course, are not enforced by the guards. Needless to say, people still get in without showering, do not wear caps even with long hair, etc. Does anyone know if there is a law that showers must be taken prior to entering pools? Seems to me that if management is going to go through the motions of posting rules, and threatening membership cancellation, they should enforce it. If I really thought about what people who don't shower bring into the pool, I would never swim. :D
I'm old sooooo - back in the day ALL people that entering the pool were required to shower or at least get wet. I have not seen this in the last 10 years. Almost NOBODY showers anymore, including the swim teams of age group and masters! I have told a lady running a water aerobic class that the ladies need to shower since I could smell and taste all the body powder,perfume and deodorant in the water. She replied "I can't tell them to do that" Why not? it is bad for me in the water. By the way , they don't even get their hair wet!!
