Accounts of a public swimming pool

A public swimming pool is different from a private one. A public one is often more crowded as compared to private pools such as the ones at condominiums, clubs, resorts or hotels. Over crowding is a major problem at pools. It deters a swimmer from completing laps at ease even at the competition pool which is meant for that purpose .

The swimmer will often have to dodge people coming from all sorts of directions. (Arnt you wondering isnt it just the front where you'll have to dodge) It is because some people whom themselves claim that they cant finish the length so will have to stick to the breath. These people should just use the medium or learning pool in this case. The swimmer will have to be aware of his left, right and front.

Please note that Im clearly differentiating pool users as people and pool swimmers as swimmers. These people include: parents (those that teach their children to swim the breath and at the same time acting as if they are professionals), children learning swimming (I cant fault them, since they are performing under their instructors instructions), those that talk at the edge.

These people when swimming tend to open their eyes but not using them. They just swim, be it length or breath, just swim be it if theres a person swimming towards their direction, they think that they have the right of way at ALL TIMES. Children are still alright, but adults are simply incorrigibly inconsiderate. So if these inconsiderate adults collide at the children then it'll be er. not very nice. And i saw that happening today, luckily both are adults. Blind knocking against the blind.

Next issue is about the kids. Why do they often bring kids transporting them from school to the pool then back to the school again. Isnt it like troublesome? What if the kids get lost or something since its so so messy with them around. And the kids are like in hideously huge amounts choking up the pool the changing room and all these. Maybe schools should have pools ya. A female teacher was shouting at the entrance of the guys changing room: "Johnathan, Joel, come out now.!" Isnt this dumb, they should have at least a male and female teacher accompanying the school kids to the pool. I heard her calling, so I was like, Ya. Johnathan's here lo.

And i hate the murky waters which people have like urinated or see that plaster floating in the water.

Living in a condominium would then be much more nicer. With a clean pool to yourself. Though i dont swim that often.
