Pool rules: etiquette and safety

😉 Greetings to my regular and new readers! This article contains basic rules of behavior in the pool, which, unfortunately, are not followed by everyone.

The pool is a public place where etiquette must be observed. There are not so many of them, but some “waterfowl” ignore them, disturbing others.

Three times a week I go swimming and get health. What I do not like:

• when a lady poured herself into the pool without taking a shower;
• ladies who “rinse off” in swimsuits before swimming, although there are advertisements everywhere that you need to wash without a swimsuit;
• gossip girlfriends who suddenly stop in the middle of the swim lane and chat. You can talk to the side or in the locker room;
• people who swim across the paths or on the left side, which provoke collisions of people floating;
• floating ladies, or rather aunts, in “nightcaps” with a thick layer of cosmetic “plaster” on their faces. Such persons do not wash off their bright makeup in the shower, the remnants of which quickly dissolve in water. Smells over the surface of the water only intensify and there is no escape from them. Indelible cosmetics and perfumes can cause allergies if they come into contact with bleach.

Pool etiquette

If the theater starts with a coat rack, then the pool starts with a dressing room. It is prohibited to enter the dressing room wearing outdoor shoes.

In the shower

The most important rule is to shower before swimming. It is very important! When we wash, harmful bacteria, skin particles, sweat are washed off the body. If you do not take off your swimsuit, it will all go to the pool! Ladies need to wash off their makeup. Remember to remove the patch if you have one.

It is forbidden to remove (shave) unwanted hair here. It’s vulgar and unhygienic. Leave the shaver at home. Don’t confuse a shower with a toilet! The smell of urine is not good for everyone. Do I need to be reminded of this?

Perfume

Never wear perfume before using the pool. Aromatic substances dissolve easily in water. This annoys visitors and instructors.

Cap

Without a swim cap, you will be asked to leave the pool. Floaters’ exposed hair can enter the mouth of other waterfowl and clog the water filters. By the way, you can buy a swimming cap on the spot, it is provided by the staff.

In the pool

Do not go barefoot – you risk slipping and catching a fungal disease of the feet.

If there are paths in the pool (in the water), then you need to know which path you can take. The most extreme (side) lanes are for beginners or those who prefer measured swimming. In the middle – for people with experience and professionals who swim dynamically.

The rules of conduct provide for the safety of swimmers:

• you need to swim, keeping to the right side of the track and turn only counterclockwise. Otherwise, a collision is inevitable;
• if you are tired, swim to the end of the track and rest;
• do not jump into the water from the sides, creating splashes and do not swim for distillation;
• to free the mouth and nose from the trapped water, use the drain grooves;
• it is forbidden to swim with alcoholic intoxication it will be fun only for you, the rest will have to enjoy the “exhaust”;
• it is not recommended to eat onions or garlic before visiting the pool;
• do not use the pool as a toilet! In European countries, special reagents are added to the water that color the water if urine (ammonia) appears in it. The person could not resist – the water around him will turn purple or red. The intruder will have to leave the pool in loud disgrace.

If each of us observes the rules of conduct in the pool, we will comfortably swim in clear water with a good mood.
