Swimming in the Mall

I have never been in that water, nor do I ever want to, but I took this quick shot through the glass on the upper level of the mall. I find it funny when I see people lounging on the side in the lounging chairs, as if outside at a sunny beach.

Wow that is cool! Funny about the people lounging as if they were outside. My kids would love to be in that water, but just like you, not me!

It looks like they use alot of clorine [spelling?] and that isn't always healthy for folk.

I looked at it again. There was a brief couple of frames that were inappropriate for this forum. it is pretty funny though.

Normally I don't do water but I had some serious fun going down all those slides and playing in the waves. You should try it!!!

That is so weird to have a pool inside a mall! Although I'll bet outdoor pools in Canada don't get much use :) Cool shot.
