Are you saying €8 is not too expensive for a swim? That's an insane price.

Yes, the ID thing is preventing me from entering. It's not about keeping "undocumented and migrants" out. It's allegedly about keeping troublemakers out, but it's yet another pointless deterrent. There's no need to force everyone to show an ID to enter a pool simply because of a few bad apples.

I don't care about your bizarre rhetoric about "how low Europe has sunk", please take your nonsense elsewhere. We certainly don't need razor wire or security guards in pools. Though, perversely, I'm sure it's easier to convince politicians to install those than it is to spend more money on lifeguards.

Expensive maybe, but not insane.

For comparison, in Paris it costs €3.5 to enter one of the ~40 public swimming pools.

> The idea for showing ID, which happens in other countries too at least for events, is probably to keep the undocumented and migrant ones out.

For which reason would you want to prevent undocumented/migrant persons from swimming in a pool?
