There is a difference between keeping away from "strangers" in the pool and not being friendly. a smile or a nod or even eye contact will not infect anyone with anything except being human. this is of course my opinion and also the way i was raised but everyone has their own opinion as i can see. all i am talking about are the "pool people" who based on what i am reading in this post are the minority and not the norm. we will be going to our new pool maybe before "they" arrive or right in the middle of the "click". it will be fun especially now that we have decided to make it a game to see how many whispers we can get each day.
