Swimmers of the Vienna baths in Austria have been asked to keep their mouths shut when swimming in the public pools in a bid to save money.
The Metro reported that an estimated amount of 5,000 litres of swimming pool water is swallowed by visitors of the baths, which due to a period of heat wave are currently densely occupied.
Swimming Pool managers have knocked their heads together and come up with another solution; the ban of Bermuda shorts as they absorb water meaning the swimmer takes more water away from the pool when they leave than the average swimmer… have they gone crazy?
Officials stated that the cost of replacing the pool water is high and that it is not only financially costly, it is environmentally costly due to the need to chemically treat the water. Im sure if they bought their pool chemicals from us they wouldn’t be having this problem

Just to enforce what the ‘American Dream’ truly entails, state officials of Riverhead, Long Island, New York have used (or abused rather?) free viral technology to scour the town for ‘permit free swimming pools’ racking up a total earnings sum of over $75,000.
Google Maps started by Google in June 2009 allows users to have a satellite view of anywhere in the whole word by simply entering a recognisable search query e.g. a postcode or town name. State officials used this web mapping system to spy on pool owners in Riverhead, judging and analysing the pixelated images to see which ones they should target.
According to ‘MyFox New York’ it is was inferred by Inspector Leroy Barnes Jr. that it was not only ‘permit free’ pools they were snooping for, it was also those with ‘bad wiring’, ‘bad plumbing’, and pools with no specific fencing.
The internet peeping toms justify themselves by claiming their findings are in support of the law passed in New York on December 14th 2006, stating that every swimming pool should have certified pools alarms and gates to prevent risk of drowning. However it is clear to any Google Map user that it is virtually impossible to see something as small as a pool alarm, or wiring on the mapping system, and it also breeches the privacy rights every homer expects and is entitled to. This ‘death prevention’ scheme is supposedly for the good of others but using a free internet resource to earn themselves a fine 5 digit number challenges whether a line has been crossed and what privacy rights we have.
Lillie Coney, associate director of the Electronic Privacy Information Center in Washington, D.C., said Google Earth was promoted as an aid to curious travelers but has become a tool for cash-hungry local governments.
“The technology is going so far ahead of what people think is possible, and there is too little discussion about community norms,” she said.
Luckily for us, in the UK the laws regarding pool owners are not that of concern or of democratic controversy.
