» WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW: How to keep yourself and others safe at the pool over the summer
Reddit users were disgusted by the clip, commenting about pool etiquette as the summer swimming seasons kicks off. One user said: “Imagine the inadvertent gulp of water that sometimes happens when you’re swimming …with all the shaved hair in it.”
Another user commented: “People with this little self awareness in social settings are the worst.”
However, it’s not just a social taboo — it’s also a health issue, according to local health officials. While most public pools are chlorinated or filtered, safety officials still recommend you take a shower before you enter the pool to keep bacteria out. They also stress following general cleanliness best practices and not throwing trash in the area around the pool.
