Yes, but there's a difference between a school pool and a public swimming baths - certainly my mother didn't allow us to go to one local pool as she said it was dirty (I did go with friends, and didn't know what the fuss was about), and I, some quarter of a century later, didn't allow my daughter to go to one of the local pools as it, too, was dirty - at least, the changing-rooms were disgusting! I can't speak to the quality of the water....
