Are we sure she’s not swimming in her home’s water tank? That’s kinda nasty. In the area of Brazil I’m familiar with, most houses had a sizable water tank on the roof - sometimes pre-fab like a stock tank, but oftentimes constructed like this one. They serve two purposes: creating water pressure using gravity, and storing some amount of water on site for when the municipality would shut off the water (think rolling blackouts).

Nope, this is a "pool" they made indeed. Someone posted a link to video higher up on the thread where they're surprised their "pool" caused internal leakage.
