The pool is your organisation. You know some people are doing it, you just don’t know who or why? “Can’t be bothered “, “No one will notice”, “ Every one does it”. Some even boast about it. You need a lot of chlorine to compensate. Sometimes it is so bad it smells and stings your eyes. I think it's why some people only paddle others keep heads above water at all times.
So are HR the attendants measuring the quality? Life guards shouting instructions, “ DON'T RUN" , “ No bombing” ,” wrist bands must be worn at all to times ”. Or trainers and mentors there to help, because,” You are not going to get very far if you can’t swim”, and” You need to get out of the crowded shallow end.”
Senior managers want stronger swimmers. There is a group learning to swim by doing widths in the shallow end. Some are clearly cheating with one foot on the bottom , bouncing up and down whilst moving their arms pretending to swim. What do they think will happen if they ever get promoted to the deep end?
