Overcrowding at Public Swimming Pools

China, the world’s most populous nation, often sees its public spaces, including pools, packed to the brim. A snapshot of a public pool barely showing water under the crowd exemplifies this, highlighting a common sight across many public pools.

Heatwaves exacerbate the situation as thousands seek solace in public pools’ cooling waters. Such overwhelming crowds may dissuade people from choosing the comfort of their homes over the congested public swimming options.
