No, not in the a general context, but I have and will direct persons exiting the public pool locker room who obviously have not followed the rules of showering off before entering the natatorium. The health and welfare of my grandkids, wife and myself trump some disrespectful person, 12 or 40 year old’s “liberty”. We live in society- and it is up to us to enforce societal norms.
Now, do I sit at the men’s locker exit and check for compliance? No, but once someone makes a correction, the life guards usually start looking out too. This is at a military installation pool. Civvy standards may be so low, I don’t know.
What about you? You could care less I suppose? That’s chlorines job huh?
I don’t play pool police, no.
Sixty years ago, Navy swimmers had to walk through a long and cold foot-bath. No shower required. Maybe this was Quonset Point, RI?
That’s chlorines job huh?
Chlorine in the pool water kills bacteria and inactivates viruses - but actually worsens the effect of urine, converting relatively harmless uric acid and urea "escaping" into the pool into more-aggressive chemical compounds that irritate the skin and can trigger rashes.
