Many sports complexes, including swimming pools, work according to certain rules, and also develop rules for visiting people in order to avoid various accidents or unpleasant incidents. But some rules seem so logical that their presence causes confusion or even a smile.
Instructions
Step 1
One of the first such rules, which is spelled out in special memos in almost every pool, reads like this: "In no case should you drink water from the pool." The rule is probably written for parents of young children, but without this small clarification, the meaning becomes somewhat absurd. Probably, you can add a phrase known even to children from a fairy tale: "Don't drink, or you will become a kid."
Step 2
Another interesting rule is the prohibition of swimming without a bathing suit and cap. The cap, although it raises questions about its need, is still needed to prevent clogging of the water and filters in the pool, as well as to protect the hair and scalp. But why prescribe a bathing suit remains unclear. Probably, this should scare away lovers of nature and naturalism - nudists. Or a rule specially created for fans of Hippolytus from the popular New Year's movie, who dream of swimming in a coat and a fur hat.
Step 3
The rule that causes laughter from more or less adequate people is the statement that you cannot urinate in the pool. For these purposes, a toilet was invented several centuries ago, but some swimmers, apparently, are comfortable without it. As proven by scientists who are also exploring this issue in detail, this is not only contrary to cultural norms, but also dangerous to health. By the way, maybe the ban on drinking from the pool is dictated precisely by non-observance of this rule?
Step 4
The next rule, which can also make you laugh, especially visitors to sports complexes with a swimming pool, is a ban on swimming while under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Perhaps there are brave people who in such a state will want to swim, but whether they will get to their destination is a question. This also includes the rule on the prohibition of drinking alcoholic beverages and smoking in water. Indeed, it’s just some kind of resort, not swimming!
Step 5
It is also forbidden to appear in the pool with open wounds on the body, apparently so as not to shock other particularly impressionable swimmers. Of course, we are talking about the fact that you can get an infection through open wounds, but still, who in their right mind would come to the pool with injuries, even if this rule did not exist? Reading these lines, this is how a person with a shot in the knee appears, who wants to swim all the Olympic standards right now.
Step 6
One of the funniest pool laws came from the Californian town of Baldwin Park. US case law suggests some bizarre laws, so it's no surprise that the city's residents were officially banned from cycling in the pool. Apparently, there were precedents after all.
