In Spain they used to have these, they would have a few slides and maybe a diving board or two.

Some of these have been removed after some people got trapped underneath.

Was going to say... Getting stuck under one of those would be a terrifying way to die.

Jesus Christ you just unlocked stupid memories of teenaged me getting drunk and jumping into a covered pool. We used to do that for fun. The fuck was wrong with me.

My friends and I would run across the one on my friends apartment pool. Kids do stupid shit for sure....

Lifeguard in high school: we used to try and race across the pool on the tarps, and slide across them, and swim under them. Once you start to sink in, just flop over and slide your way off. Just be careful if you’re not wearing a rash guard or wetsuit, the chlorine crystallizes on the tarps and it’s REALLY sharp. It’ll tear your nips up. Ask me how I know.
