After all, there is no shortage of toilet paper!

She may be right to see locker rooms and toilets in locker rooms as a larger potential hazard. For extra safety, keep six feet away from people in the pools and just talk louder. Also, the pools that don’t allow children might be a little safer. But I think the water is safe. It’s probably safe enough to drink.
