Iceland has solved that problem... https://icelandmag.is/article/wash-thoroughly-without-swimsu...

Makes sense, not sure why other countries don't do the same. I'd much prefer fewer chemicals in the water and a required shower than the current system in the US.

That's what I do after spending time in Finland. The funny thing is, everyone else in the pool looks at me like I'm crazy for showering and using soap before I get in the pool, they just get themselves wet in their swimming trunks before going in.

That actually sounds fantastic. Cleanliness, equality, shameless nudity, and a little compassion. What great qualities to instill into people.
