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
Wow, reading this thread is cracking me up. I can't say that I've ever thought of most of these things that people are ooked out about.
The only thing that's ever really grossed me out was once when I was swimming at an LA Fitness several years ago. A man got in and started doing laps and there became this huge stink of garlic looming on the water. I could seriously smell him when I passed him. Had to get out.
Or the people that enter the aquatic area literally bathed in perfume/cologne. I never used to think about these things until I got "older." In addition to being an exercise addict, I have become a bit of a germaphobe. If I really think too much about it, I'd never swim. :afraid:
