Iono, it's kinda neat, but it makes me kinda nervous and claustrophobic too. It's a borderline liminal space, it feels hollow and empty and samey even though there's a person in there.

The chlorine smell

Stop peeing in the pool then. It only happens as a chemical reaction from the urea interaction with the chlorine.

Because if you have a problem while swimming you cannot easily get to the nearest edge and get out - the sheer wall prevents this. You are committed once you leave the end of the pool.
