Swimming's really good for losing weight, no sweating and less knee pain involved. Wish I had a private pool too, you can definitely tell the public ones are 30% filled with piss.
This is sort of how everything works, unfortunately! Guaranteeing 0% of something is really hard. Your flour probably has a small percentage of bugs in it, for instance. Urea is a relatively small molecule that I imagine you can find tiny amounts of pretty much anywhere. I would be unsurprised if there was at least one molecule of urea in literally anything you eat!
That said, dear god I hope Iâve never been in a pool thatâs 10% urine :(. Those kiddie pools at the water park are probably like 90% urine, though. Sometimes I wonder if by volume adults pee in the pool more than kids, though. I have a suspicion a good chunk of adults think itâs fine or will do it secretly anyway.
I would imagine a private pool would be annoyingly small to exercise in, only ever seen one that seemed big enough and that one was way too expensive for any normal person to ever afford. Every other one has been more like for chilling in.
Unless Iâm misunderstanding you, or there are only extremely tiny pools in your region, any private pool should be big enough to exercise in. You donât have to be pulling Phelps-level breaststroke times in an Olympic pool; even just treading water is a great exercise. Thatâs kind of what it seemed like OOP was doing, anyway. Sure you wonât get ripped, but thatâs pretty impossible already unless youâre at competitive levels.
Your metabolic rate can be several times higher in a pool or other body of water than it is on land without any exercise at all. Body heat is lost at a much higher rate when you are submerged in water and your body will burn more fuel to maintain core temperature.
This is something fighters do when they're going extreme weight loss before a weight in. I'm addition to dehydrating themselves and eating clean, they have several different cold exposure methods that causes the body to burn more calories.
Swimming is amazing for the elderly as well as the heavily obese. Buoyancy takes all the load off joints/cartilage and significantly reduces wear or arthritic pain while still providing consistent, firm resistance to movement that burns calories.
In Iceland all the public pools are full of old people. Due to geothermal energy, all outdoor pools in Iceland are heated, even in winter. I think it's a really great public health program honestly.
That immediately increases the time investment required for use. The whole point of the post is that it's easy because it's in their back yard. Public pools aren't relevant here.
Ehhh, rich isn't really applicable. Someone with good income and good debt management skills can have a pool. You don't have to be "rich", which is a pretty vague word that's very subjective.
I have friends that make very good money, and have the freedom to decide what their debt goes to. Nice house, nice cars, but if their income goes away, they're fucked because the debt doesn't magically disappear when the income does. To me, that's not rich. Rich is when you have enough resources that a change in income doesn't fuck you over.
Now, some people would say that the ability to choose what debt goes to is rich. I can see that usage being just as valid. I sure as hell can't decide what my debt goes to, it has to go only to survival needs. I can't take on debt for funsies like a pool, at least not in any amount that's significant (so, nothing big as a pool, but maybe enough for switching out an appliance that isn't dead, as an example).
For real, pools can be had with relatively low incomes. They cost about the same as a car for in-ground (a new car, not something lightly used lol). You don't have to be in six figure income brackets to have one. Do I think it's dumber than dammit to do so if you don't? Yes, but it's still possible as long as you want something basic
If an above ground is applicable, and it can be for light exercise, you can get by with as little as a grand. Which ain't cheap, bit it's a debt most people in the typical "middle class" income range can manage at some point, if it's a priority.

People with less than 6figure income aren't spending as much as a new car on a backyard in ground pool. Where do you think they have the cash for that? What bank is going to loan them the funds? Hilarious you think it's possible in this economy.
You must be brain dead if you legitimately believe all you need is 100$. What about the place to put it? Most people don't own their property, and if they do, many don't have space for one.
