It is quite interesting how different people approach visiting the pool depending on their background.
Czechs: families go to the water park for fun and pensioners go to chat while "exercising."
Ukrainians (frequent visitors): purely to swim, obviously for physical fitness.
Indians and others: I have no idea why, but they paddle around in the shallow end and pretend to swim (I'm fascinated by how common this is).
Black people: water parks, water slides, attractions, never the main pool.
Asians: surprisingly, closest to the Czechs.
