I am not talking about pool/water shoes but just regular sandals. Who knows what is on the bottom of those things. Why would you do that?

The guy being observed may have been joking around for some reason.
There have been times when I was passing a pool and went in with shorts instead of a bathing suit. Came out, drip-dried, shirt on, and carried on with my mission.
One thing for certain for me is that I would never go into any pool without footwear. Pool shoes or sometimes slippers are fine with me. Whatever was on the bottom of the man's shoes would have probably been on the bottom of his feet so the shoes aren't really an issue. When you have seen some of the nasty things that happen in or near a pool foot covering seems essential to me.
Haven't been in a pool since the COVID Virus started and I miss it big time.
