I guess yes. They might implement a non swimmers basin for the

what is a non swimmers basin ?



Hi Carl,

in germany our public swimming pools have pools for swimmers
and pools for people who cannot swim. If swimmers accidently
fall into the the non swimmers and get drowned by all those
non swimmers permanently plunging onto them, its their
problem and not a fault of the people running the pool :)

The shark basin and the non swimmers basin are very much
used in popular language here - but maybe my translation
is horrible.


thanks. I kinda figured it was something like that, but it was just a bit too unfamiliar, and around here (US) they just have 2 sides of the pool, know as "the shallow end" and "the deep end".
