Splish, Splash <\/em><\/strong>is a song I bet you remember Bobby Darin singing if you are 40 or older. <\/span>It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a cute song about relaxing in a nice bath but getting a real surprise as he opens the door after he dries off.<\/p>\n

I love showers these days instead of baths. <\/span>However, also LOVE a dip in the pool every now and then. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/o:p><\/p>\n

I was out of town this weekend and missed my favorite pool. <\/span>The one we decided to go to was one located at some condos in Charleston<\/st1:place><\/st1:city>.<\/p>\n

<\/o:p><\/p>\n

We opened the door to go in and walked over to check out the pool. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/o:p><\/p>\n

Little did we know we would get a surprise, just like Bobby Darin.<\/p>\n

<\/o:p><\/p>\n

Now if it had been a party like he walked in on, that is one thing. That was not the case.<\/p>\n

<\/o:p><\/p>\n

The pool was covered with algae. Yes, it was almost all green on the far end and a bit less on the shallow end.<\/p>\n

<\/o:p><\/p>\n

Regardless, it was not pretty and, of course, we knew not to get in. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/o:p><\/p>\n

Being the weekend, there was little anyone could do. <\/span>We did decide to leave a note at the office to let them know.<\/p>\n

<\/o:p><\/p>\n

This was obviously not something that occurred overnight. I just wonder how many swam in that pool before it started turning green and got some bacteria they would not have wanted. <\/span> <\/span>I wonder how many may have gotten sick from that pool and not even realized they were in danger of that.<\/p>\n

<\/o:p><\/p>\n

DHEC would close that pool down if they saw it, and we suggested that they would if they happened to come by and inspect. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/o:p><\/p>\n

I am very sure they will take care of this immediately when they see the note. <\/span>If not, a DHEC visit will be immanent from the person I was with who lived there. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/o:p><\/p>\n

My wish for you today<\/strong> is that if you swim regularly at a public or even a private community pool, you ask questions and make sure it is taken care of properly BEFORE you get in. <\/span>You may be sorry if you don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t and be saying \u00e2\u20ac\u0153how was I to know\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d like Bobby Darin. <\/span><\/p>\n
