I never understood the appeal of public pools or why people have interest in swimming in shared water. Pools are full of bacteria from the general public and grosser stuff like blood or kid pee. Kids especially make pools awful, I've seen two pools shut down because a kid pooped in them and there is no chance kids aren't peeing in the water constantly. Imagining being surrounded by the bodily fluids of the general public and having them wash all over my body makes me feel sick. I get that pools are cleaned but I find it hard to imagine they are ever actually cleanly.
