i used to believe that the little bit of water that you have to walk through at the swimming baths before you go in the pool was to warm your legs up. i believed this when i was a small girl. and also when i was a big girl. only last year at the tender age of 19 was i told that you did not sit down in it to get you body ready for the bigger pool of water, but simply had to walk through it to disinfect your feet. not really sure why no-one told me until last year, i must have looked very strange. also its a bit horrible as it means i was sitting in a load of water full of bits of people's minging feet. nice.
