No matter what the CDC says about chlorine killing the virus, my family is very concerned about my return to the pool, due to those who spit, pee, sweat in the pool, and particularly the heavy breathing above the water by other swimmers. Not to mention that they don't 100% believe that chlorine kills the virus, since we are inundated with contradictory recommendations and cautions. Is anyone staying away from pools until it really is "safe" -- the cases don't rise significantly? I worry about being the carrier to my family, esp. my grandson, who I watch and adore. I admit, I'm concerned about safety above the water, no matter what precautions the pools say they are taking. I swam indoors and watched guards look the other way when people don't shower off before getting in, or spit in the pool, and I've seen worse that I won't share here.
AS ONE OF THOSE IN THE 80.7 % GROUP, I am going to stay away from the pool till I can get a shot that will afford me at least some protection - whenever that may be! My grand kids are going to be the problem for me as I sometimes watch them for 8 hours at my house for my daughter.
I am leaning towards that option, orca. I would feel much safer once a vaccine is available. I would never forgive myself if I was the person who passed COVID onto a family member, b/c I had to swim. I love swimming, I feel as if a limb missing, and everything hurts without swimming in my life, but........
