I now understand why there was a great aversion to taking kids to a public pool back in the 1950s. That is when POLIO was epidemic, and polio virus is spread through fecal matter.
My favorite time was swimming in the Colorado River at Moab UT and cold creeks in Arkansas.
Years ago we were in a pool at a motel. A woman got in the pool with her baby, who had on nothing but a cloth diaper. Hope the pool had lots of chlorine in it.
