Boy howdy, I’m in the tall grass on this one. I’ll have to keep poking at generalities…
Was it typically used by a specific number of humans at a time?
If yes, typically exactly 2 people? <10 people?
Is the pool / water container indoors?
Whether it’s indoors or outdoors, does it have to be there or could it have been located vice versa?
Is the water container spherical? cylindrical? box-like? something else?
When it was being used, could the users see the water?
If yes, through portholes? By direct line of sight?
(If yes to “direct line of sight”, then I’ll need to clarify the “closed vs. open to the air/sky” question from earlier.)
When people were using it, were they typically wearing street clothes?
Bathing suits?
Sport clothes or gear?
Were the users in competition with other simultaneous users? In competition with asynchronous users?

Is it in Canada?
Is the water colder than a normal swimming pool?
I have “no” to “do people go into the water”, so lemme modify the tense of that question:
When it was being used, did people go into the water?
-
If yes, then these Qs:
Could they stand up?
Did they bring objects in with them?
Did they wear goggles?
Breathing equipment? -
If no, then this Q:
Were they wearing swim suits because this happened to be located near some other venue (like a beach) that warranted the wearing of swim suits?
And then a clarifying Q:
Is the surface of the water open to the air in the room/building?
Is the pool part of a maritime vessel?
Is the pool part of a sunken maritime vessel?
Was the pool constructed for use in a specific event? For example, a World’s Fair, or the Olympics.
Was the pool used for some sort of sport, or other competitive event?
Was the pool used to cool something hot?
oooh … interesting guess. If you’re thinkin’ what I THINK you’re thinkin’ … a particularly well-known sunken maritime vessel?

Soo… it’s the pool on the Titanic? Was originally “filled” with pool water, it’s now “filled” with seawater? No longer used because it’s… inaccessible?
EDIT Apparently was filled with sea water when used. Who knew!
I have one, if no one else does. I think I may have asked the question a while back in a different form, but hopefully no one remembers that. Bear with me since I’ve never done one of these before.
The bird took flight not long after dawn. Outside of the darkness, it twinkled in the morning light.
What exactly was twinkling?
Yes, the Titanic actually had a pool that was called a “salt bath” and was just warmed up ocean water. And…it is still filled with ocean water, but no longer in use.
Is the bird the animal we call “bird”?
Is it a star that is twinkling?
dr. s
Was the bird a ship or flying vehicle of some sort?
If so, was it twinkling in the sky like a star?
