Everyone visiting a public swimming pool has to obey specific rules:
• Don’t push anybody into the water.
• Avoid noise (in some facilities radios and stereos are prohibited).
• Don’t pollute the water and don’t dirty any other areas of the facility.
• Don’t eat or smoke within the immediate swimming area.
• Children younger than 6 must be accompanied by an adult.
• Animals are not allowed in any facility.
• Lifeguards are allowed to ban visitors from the facility if they break official regulations.
Common sense tells swimmers not to swim with a full stomach and not to go in the water when their bodies are overheated.
Public pools are generally divided into swimmers’and non-swimmers’
pools, and they have extra pools for little children. Some pools have
water slides and children’s playgrounds are available.
