EEEWWWW! Maybe it’s just me, but I don’t want to wash my feet where a zillion other people wash THEIR feet. Or accidentally mistake the foot washing thing for a low urinal. Or a spitoon.
If it looks like a urinal then I’ll be using it like one.
I was once at a cocktail party with the Superintendent of the Oakland Public School District who had just returned from Paris. He was amazed that bathrooms in France had these drinking fountains so close to the floor.
I had to excuse myself since he was a major client at the time and didn’t want to burst out laughing in front of him...

On that basis I’d strongly recommend never going to a public swimming pool: people climb into those with their whole sweaty bodies and sometimes kids even PEE IN THE POOL!
Sounds good, make it a spare urinal when the others are busy.
[4] So [Jesus] got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist. [5] After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples' feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped around him.
[6] He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, "Lord, are you going to wash my feet?"
[7] Jesus replied, "You do not realize now what I am doing, but later you will understand."
[8] "No," said Peter, "you shall never wash my feet."
Jesus answered, "Unless I wash you, you have no part with me."
[9] "Then, Lord," Simon Peter replied, "not just my feet but my hands and my head as well!"
[10] Jesus answered, "A person who has had a bath needs only to wash his feet; his whole body is clean. And you are clean, though not every one of you." [11] For he knew who was going to betray him, and that was why he said not every one was clean.
[12] When he had finished washing their feet, he put on his clothes and returned to his place. "Do you understand what I have done for you?" he asked them. [13] "You call me 'Teacher' and 'Lord,' and rightly so, for that is what I am. [14] Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another's feet.
