To think swimming pools are utterly disgusting?

[clutchingatpearls]

Just that really. I love swimming and can swim in a warm sea. But I find swimming pools (posh spas are a possible exception) literally make me feel sick. The plasters, hair, bodily excretions... truly a human soup.

Am I unusual?

How do you feel about chairs/seats previously occupied by other women? It’s pretty much the same. If you have that much vaginal discharge that it seeps through your swimsuit you need to see a doctor.

Do you usually sit naked on chairs?

No, but I don’t swim naked in public baths either or anywhere else for that matter.

I used to swim in public pools all the time five-six years ago. Fast forward into the 2020s, and every time I take my children into one, they get hand-foot-mouth disease or suchlike delightful enteric illness. NEVER AGAIN.
