when too many people are swimming together, it’s just disgusting.

Seeing people bunched up in a large body of water really disgusts me.

I remember a lady saving my life at a wave pool. It was so scary.

one time I went to a Hurricane Harbor (swim park in texas) when I was at least younger than 13 I think. In the lazy river that goes around the whole inner perimeter of the swim park I remember I got into a really bad spot where there were so many people on tubes that I accidentally went under and couldn't surface again because the waterway was PACKED with tubes. I'll never forget the feeling of really really panicking in my mind about dying even as a strong swimmer. I don't even remember how I managed to get back up again but that is a core memory of mine even now and I've had a fear of drowning since. I still go swimming often, it's just when a lot of tubes are involved in small spaces I nope out

No way in he'll you'd get me in a pool as crowded as gross.

Biggest pool in the world... for boats only... built right next to the ocean.
Makes perfect sense.

Number 1 and number 2 terrify me just watching it. I won't even go on a balcony that's 4 stories or higher with my own family. The thought of that or just thinking of setting a foot in these pools (hell even the roof) is enough to almost paralyze me with fear. I have no idea why, I wasn't really scared of heights as a child, but now, if I even see someone in a skyscraper with floor to ceiling windows, I become paralyzed with terror.

"Hey Sam, wanna go swim with me?"
"Sure, Ethan. Where are we going?"

Been staying in Singapore for 3 years and been to the MBS pool several times. First of all, there are no extreme weather conditions here. Second, if there were storms, they would shut down the pool before it gets serious. Third, there's a platform about 2m below the edge. So unless you're actively trying to jump down, there's no way you would fall off. And even then you'd have to be quick so no one keeps you from doing it. Ridiculous this is on the list and makes me wonder how exaggerated the "dangers" of the other pools were.

What the hell is the point of having a pool 1: takes 3 million dollars to take care of 2: no one can swim in 3: IS RIGHT NEXT TO THE OCEAN?!

I remember this one pool at a campground in Utah. It was weird. Middle of nowhere. Black tile. The water looked too freaky to swim. This was twenty or so years ago.

"Pool of Death" isn't a Pool that's just the damn ocean lol
