There was also a strange 'pool' of about 18-inches of water that one had to walk through on the way to the pool deck and back into the locker rooms. Not having seen this before, I didn't know what this was for - rinsing off the feet before stepping on deck maybe?
A lot of old pools in the US used to have foot baths like that. I can only guess that it was an attempt to limit athlete's foot.
