Why can't they make pools like that for learning swimmers?

[caioton]

@sgreen4 ....because you can´t swimm on those. Only float. ;o)

@sgreen4 This is actually dangerous, some people drown because they cant flip over on the back because the buoyancy is so strong.

@zeldafan8655 It's quite easy and happens all the time. People cant flip back over and ultimately drown because they're stuck face down in the water. You've just seen how hard it is even to sit up.

@TheGunsable Hahhaa, I read your comment AFTER I posted mine :P

[lilmizadorkable]

Hahaha, at least you can't drown. Well, I guess you could, if you tried really hard. :P

@sgreen4 For an average 16 x 32 in-ground pool (3ft shallow end, 8ft deep end) which is roughly 79 000 liters, you would need to add 27 650 kilos of salt, making the saline levels 35%, the same as the dead sea ;), although if it happened it would be awesome (although the liner or tiling might be corroded).

@TheGunsable

[hockeybuzz555]

They should put the best olympic swimmers in the dead sea and have them race from the israeli side to the jordanian side
