You will not catch me in a public swimming pool if I can help it. The water is always so warm and "sludgy" feeling. And sometimes salty . I have been in many pools in my days and it is NOT supposed to be salty, I don't care what chemicals they put in there. And to top it I was traumatized as a child at after school care when we had to evacuate the pool b/c someone decided to evacuate their bowels in the deep end. UGH. And to top off my apartment complex has had to drain the pool twice so far b/c someone couldn't hold their alcohol. Yes, you will not catch me in a public pool.
