Two months ago I switched pools, going from an outdoor pool facility to an indoor pool at a YMCA. At the old pool I never considered not using the suit spinner, but since switching facilities I can't bring myself to drop my suit in the thing. The Y locker room is for all users, which means it smells like, well duh... a locker room (the old pool locker room was only used by swimmers so was thankfully free of sweat). The idea of dropping my suit in that thing now just disgusts me. Who knows what those Weight Room Igors do when no one is looking. And then there's the racquetball players dripping sweat all over the place. And let's not forget the noodlers who spend less than five minutes in the pool, which in my book is not enough time to sufficiently disinfect said noodler's suit before he drops it in the spinner. Eeee! Am I the only one grossed out by this?
Sharing the pool deck and locker rooms our local Y with a very large crowd of people with questionable foot health (
and most are barefoot)has made me swear by flip flops...
I don't get the whole flip flop thing. They are made of very porous rubber, probably stay nice and damp, just the kind of place that would make a good breeding ground for fungus.
