can you get fungi toes from the pool?

Today heard someone telling another in the elevator that he got fungi toenails from (he said he's sure) the swimming pool facility. Does that happen a lot?

    Laxity in swim pool staff. In the pool I swam in as a kid they used to have a lifeguard that checked the feet, they were not allowed in the pool if they had any thing wrong. If they did not have a complete shower, not allowed to enter the pool. We don't have any pets, but back when this happened (6-7 years ago)my kids did have the nasty habit of just throwing their goggles on the pool deck. Now they swim competitively and they know to wear their flip-flops and they keep their goggles on their heads. They have seen what some of the kids on their team have on their feet(planter warts for instance) and they got pretty grossed out.
