I kind of share this one. Not in swimming pools, but in the little reservoirs / pools (I can't for the life of me remember the proper name we had for them) that the mills had in Bolton in the 1960's. Their position was usually marked by a whirlpool in the water.

I can sort of understand that - the murky unknown, if you like. But a swimming pool? I must have been one of the few people who, when they did those survival badge things as a kid, dived for a brick at the bottom of the pool with eyes closed. I never missed, but I never, ever had my eyes open.

I can only think I must either have drowned or had a very bad experience in a previous life.......[:?]
