    Swimming etiquette: Rules for sharing a public pool

    What's the story

    Dive into the world of swimming as we explore the unspoken guidelines for sharing a public pool.

    Just like in any shared space, swimming pools have their unspoken rules too.

    While safety rules can be found on notice boards, there are also some guidelines for proper behavior.

    Let's go over five fundamental pool manners that will make swimming enjoyable for everyone.

    Splash

    Don't splash unecessarily

    Swimming pools are super fun, no matter how old you are.

    Some people feel irresistible and give in to the temptation to splash.

    It can be a way to show excitement, get someone's attention, or simply make Instagram reels.

    However, it's crucial to teach children not to splash in public pools or when they are guests in someone's pool.

    Pee

    Don't pee in the pool

    No peeing in the pool, please!

    It is just plain gross. Nobody wants to swim in a pool filled with pee.

    Plus, it is unhygienic and disrespectful to others who are looking for a clean and refreshing pool experience.

    When nature calls, take a quick bathroom break.

    Let's keep the pool a fun and clean place for everyone to enjoy without any icky surprises.

    Shower

    Shower before you enter the pool

    Before you jump into the pool, don't forget to hit the shower. It's important to wash off any dirt and germs.

    Using soap helps get rid of those nasty germs that can make you sick with diarrhea, swimmer's ear, and yucky skin infections.

    So, take a quick shower with soap to stay clean and healthy. It keeps you and the pool safe and clean.

    Polite

    Be polite and considerate to other swimmers

    When you are in the pool having a good time, remember to be kind and considerate towards other swimmers.

    Not everyone is just there for fun. Some people might be training or trying to stay fit.

    So, avoid excessive splashing, loud squealing, and shouting.

    And please, don't block the space by resting in the middle of the pool.

    Swimwear

    Wear appropriate swimwear

    Make sure to wear proper swimwear when you hit the pool.

    Don't wear denim shorts, they will soak up water like a sponge and weigh you down.

    Stay light, stay comfortable, and have a good time without carrying unnecessary water weight.

    Also, keep your swimwear choice modest and appropriate for a public pool, as it caters to people of all ages.
