whats the point ? you know some little ****** has already p issed in it
Yes, absolutely. In pre-COVID times I would swim 2-3 times a week at a lovely outdoor pool near my office. The only one in central London I believe. The downside was that as soon as there was a drop of sunshine (or worse, like this current weather) it would turn from respectful lane-swimming amongst regulars - into the last days of Rome via Magaluf I gave up going whenever the weather was decent because it was unbearable. Not only because of the crowds but because you couldn't see 2m ahead of you in the lane due to all the perfume, deodorant, hair gel etc. in the water. It was like swimming through fog, grim! (And you could taste it, bleurgh!)Yes, definitely yes.
I hate it when I swim near someone who has failed to do this but had used the "French shower" method (ironic given the circumstances) and had sprayed on a lot of deodorant or perfume. They can be a couple of lanes away and the smell will still diffuse through the water, utterly rank.
Another swimming pool question.
Why does swimming, or even just frolicking in a pool make you starving hungry?
When we had compulsory swimming in Year 5 Middle School, we weren't even allowed to shower afterwards never mind before. Quick change and back on the bus back to school.
You dont go to the pool for a wash though.is this the human equivalent of washing your car before you take it for an mot?
i donont do either.
Yeah, I never once had a shower after PE at school regardless of the sport. We also used to run around playing whatever at lunch in our uniforms in the heat of summer though, which is even worse. I guess personal hygiene isn't a high priority for school children
Having been to a school where naked swimming was compulsory my mind flicks back to old Doc Fisher "playing" with the younger boys in the foot spa, in an obvious state of arousal, and public swimming baths have held little appeal since such ruinous sights Many people have disbelieved my tales of compulsory naked swimming, which went on for decades, until it made a newspaper article. I am not sure how common this was in the seventies at other schools. Not very I would guess...
Yes you should, though growing up in the UK I've never actually witnessed anyone do this - just a chlorinated water "foot bath" to walk through from the changing rooms.
