'going to a public pool' was listed as a 7 out of 10 on two different lists (granted a neighborhood pool in TV is totally different from a public city pool, which is what I would expect the author was referencing)....A neighborhood pool in TV would score lower on the risk scale...unfortunately I don't have the original source to share
Going to the grocery store was about a 4 out of 10
movie theaters about a 7 out of 10
restaurants (indoor seating) I believe was a 7 out of 10...(outdoor seating) a 4 out of ten
...and the list went on
we haven't gone to our pool since this all began...when we did it was usually during the ''off hours" and social distancing was in play merely because there was hardly anyone else there LOL

In our case the pool has a general listed capacity of 52.
The most we have seen there is about 10 people and they are nicely spread apart even when having conversations. The first time there we brought our masks and were surprised nobody was wearing one.
After observing for awhile decided we were ok with not wearing one as long as we kept our distance.
My wife has been taking swimming lessons in the Everglades and very few people are in that pool early in the morning.
We have not tried other pools in the past few months.
While we are at it the only other things we do are go grocery shopping (always with a mask) and walk around our neighborhood and will say the folks here have been great about social distancing.
