Casa Mexicana Update!

[DandyDon]

Who the heck spends 2+ hours underwater and then showers before getting in a swimming pool? Looks like the Casa’s pool is off limits for you until after X-mas as I certainly don’t.

The courteous ones.

Whatever works for you, but I only rinse the salt off first because the hotel owner wants to keep the pool as salt free as possible. Otherwise I don't see what the issue is.

I was taught as a child to shower before entering any filtered pool, the idea being that the cleaner the bodies entering, then cleaner the shared water. Rinsing salt off would certainly help protect the filter system. If deepsea21 insists on putting his unwashed body in shared water, I guess the owner and everyone else has to put up with his nasty actions.

I can only guess at what his salty body introduces to the shared water, salt and whatever else - along with how much it can produce at 99F.

Don, since that time pool water is now chlorinated and drinking water is fluoridated.

I guess we shouldn't bring up peeing in da pool

99 Degrees is barely over normal body temp anyway, and not really spa temp.

As far as showering before getting in a public pool or spa, that's actually law some places. At least it is here in the Peoples Republic of Massachusetts. (And yeah I know many people ignore that.)

Duh, it has been since before I was a kid. Chlorinated, filtered, etc. to try to keep it clean and from spreading diseases. Well, the first concrete pool I learned in wasn't filtered, just chlorinated and replaced at times but that was the 1950s. It's been a parking lot for decades since.

Since you insist on contaminating the little pool with your nasty, salty body and rationalizing however you attempt, I guess they'll need to drain it more often.

Yeah, about the same temperature as we're warned about here in the south. 6 die from brain-eating amoeba after swimming That's untreated, unfiltered ground water usually, tho, altho the CDC has reported Naegleria in some swimming pools. I'm sure the risks are lower at this hotel in spite of this defendant.

LOL....I don't spend two hours underwater soaking in salt...I spend two hours taking a nice long soak in my own pee...just like every other diver. Unlessyou are one of the guys who get the horizontal zipper in front of their junk. (Genius move by the way...) My wetsuit is old and I cant justify an $80 zipper on a wetsuit that has entered into it "Golden" years (no pun intended). Pee...salt...whatever. Everybody probably pees in the pool anyway....

Be safe....just drink beer!

There’s a sign at all public swimming pools in our area instructing patrons to shower before entering the pool. Some signs specifically state to shower “with soap”. It’s more than a recommendation. You’re “supposed” to do it. But I know many don’t for whatever reason, just like some people don’t wash their hands after relieving themselves.

That's true; you can only guess.
