I worked for a pool supply and services company as a teenager. I stopped using any swimming pool that isn't a private, single property pool (preferably family or friend owned) because of what I learned and experienced on that job. Mind you this was in the 1980s so I can only imagine how much worse pools have gotten now that we have so much (((diversity))) and (((pride))) in everything. Swim in a shared pool at your own risk.
Yes the well used community pools are disgusting. This one was crystal clean and full of the scary covids and no one wanted to use it after it was cleaned and topped off with more water for the start of the pool season. I wasn't even sure it was open or if it was locked down for covid, but checked it out, I couldn't resist. It was great.
