Letter: Ick! Can you please shower before entering swimming pools

Dear Editor,

I swam in the Lake at Pokara in Nepal and bathed many times in the Narmada River in India without fatal consequences.

So swimming in chlorinated pools in North and West Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­is unlikely to do me in either.

But I just wish more people would shower off before entering the swimming pools.

Even class groups for swimming lessons often enter the pool directly and completely dry!
