...due to the "corrosive nature of the humid, chorinated air"? This happened recently at a pool I swim at, and I have never heard of it happening anywhere. Thoughts? Experiences? I'm hearing from the peanut gallery (i.e. non-swimmers) that this sort of thing must happen or will happen elsewhere. Seems to me places like California and Florida, with the added salt in the air, would have safety measures/materials built in. So my thought, initially, is a) it was a fluke, or b) the construction wasn't done by a company experienced in pools.
Thanks for any thoughts.
I was swimming laps in a Y pool here a year or so ago, and between sets, the lifeguard ask me to investigate something he saw on the bottom of the pool. As I dove down, I immediately regretted my cooperation because I realized I was retrieving the broken plastic cover to a light fixture overhead. The lifeguard thanked me and immediately closed the pool (right call) until facilities could check out the other fixtures.
