I don't know when they stopped filling it with a lime or bleach solution, but that's what it was built for. Now, people just stub their toes on it and curse. The cursing seems to work - no fungal infestations this summer! A nearby outdoor pool’s changing room still has a stone basin you have to walk through on your way out to the water.

It was a huge indoor schwimbad in Germany with an Olympic-sized pool, a massage pool with a waterfall, a kiddie pool, and an outdoor wave pool. When you walked in or out of the locker room, you stuck your feet in sprayers mounted in what looked like floor-level sinks. You pressed a button and waved your feet around in it before proceeding. I don't know what was in the foot-shower but the signs said it was to prevent fungus. This was in the late 70s. They had one of these at the indoor pool I used to swim at when I was a kid.
