Not too well

Meh, unrealistic drama. Even in zero-G, swimming through water still works. Also, what forces are throwing all that water around other than spring-back from the pool bottom and sides, and the filtration pumps?

This explains a lot. My Brazilian friend tells me building codes and inspections are very lax and/or corrupt there. I mean, this is the country with high voltage electrically-heated shower heads that fairly regularly electrocute people. When he came to America, one of the things he asked me is why people don’t have water tanks on their roofs. He was surprised that a municipal water system could be generally reliable enough to not make people feel the need to do that. It’s a wonderful country in many many other ways though. :grinning::grinning:

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. NO.

I prefer my water with an opaque bottom.

I’d be more confident about something like that than some ordinary-looking pool in a cheap concrete building that wasn’t on the ground floor.

When you see an olympic-size all-glass cantilevered swimming balcony, you know everyone involved has double-checked their math; it’s when some low-bid contractor says “sure, that’ll probably work” that problems arise.

You gotta admit the floor drain in the garage was properly sized.

I was guessing it went to a lower level.

The residents have a big problem on their hands.I hope the accident didn´t undermine the integrity of the building’s structure and that of the others around it.
