Made me laugh. But seriously, public pools, swimming pools in general, are not sanitary. They likely won’t harm you, but the yuck factor is always there. I’ve been a pool operator at condo and public facilities for many years. The chlorine (or bromine) is no match for urine, and urine is there by the gallons in each pool.
As an adult, heck no!!! But when I was a kid, it was right up there with the ice cream truck and fire works. Kids have strong immune systems how much candy hit the dirt and was still gobbled up.
The last time at a public municipal pool, all the big kids, teen boys, were in and out of the water with tee shirts and socks besides the swim trunks of course. Not sure if that’s a trend, since I haven’t been back.
That is gross. But not as nasty as what happened in the gym’s hot tub once. A couple of parents had kids in there and one of them decided to shit his pants. You never saw me scramble out of a hot tub so fast. Thankfully it wasn’t a diarrhea poop, though. But still.

Lose the Pool; go to the Beach, Lake or Rivah!

YUCK! I would have done the same thing as Alice, however (at least, at the same age) :P

Petey is absolutely right! Alice and Madeline to the Emergency Ward for a full series of rabies, anti-venom, and all manner of other shots, STAT!
