A Beginner’s Guide to Swimming Pool Etiquettes

Pools naturally tend to excite people of all ages! Just because you don’t have a private pool in the backyard doesn’t mean you can jump in, however and whenever you want to. Pool etiquettes apply whether you’re swimming alone or with others.

Be Wary of Your Toenails.

The link between your toenails and a swimming pool might sound bizarre, but it really isn’t. Let’s explain the point via an example. Let’s say you’re speeding your way through the pool, along with a couple of other people. If your toenails aren’t adequately trimmed, that Michael Phelps-like kick of yours can scratch and hurt the swimmer who just crossed past you.

Swimwear That Fits Well

While you may have the liberty to jump in the pool as you wish—with or without proper swimwear—the latter may not be a great idea if you’re not the only person in the house or pool area at the time. Swimwear with loose elastic can move around easily when you swim in the pool, so you might (uncomfortably) be revealing more of yourself to other people in the pool at a pool party you’re hosting. 

Don’t Splash the Water on Other People

Pools are exciting and can make anyone want to let loose, no matter how young or old they are. We also understand that you might have an urge to splash the water around to express your joy. This might be an okay idea if you’re alone in the pool, but not when if you’re hosting a pool party or if your family’s swimming with you. If you’re a parent, you must teach your child not to splash in a pool around other people, as this can seem very rude. 

Splashing water is also a terrible wastage of water, primarily if your area deals with a drought situation. Even if your children are splashing it, make sure the splashed water stays inside the pool. If they don’t comply, don’t allow them to splash.
