Tales of my time as an English language assistant in France!

What is up with French swimming pools?

I'm not sure if I just went to a strict one ('cos it was really a training pool, and not an 'enjoy lounging around' one, although there were some cute kids there having a good time with their parents) or if this is a serious cultural difference.

But check out all the rules...

1) Take your shoes off BEFORE you go into the changing room.
2) You must have a shower before you swim.
3) You have to wear a swimming cap. That really took me back to primary school.
4) You're not allowed to wear boardshorts... this one cut me deep.
