Life's great mysteries (things that make NO sense)

[QUOTE="Klystron, post: 6499720, member: 614295"] As a devout swimmer who first learned to swim in the Pacific Ocean I can offer some clues to this behavior. The tourists may have selected the venue [I]because [/I]of the beautiful swimming pools. I swim daily in a large private pool but it cannot compare to the nearby swimming complex at the Flamingo Hotel much less the simulated tidal saltwater pools at Mandalay Bay or water slides at Wet&Wild. Service: Hotel pools form social centers with free beach towels for guests, food and drink service and entertainments for children, showers and shade all a short distance from their rooms. No transportation hassles or safety concerns (by comparison). Security: Hotel pools tend to be very safe with trained lifeguards, roving security patrols, cameras and lights. Beaches at resorts are open to anyone walking by. Even 'private' beaches are accessible by swimmers, boats and watercraft. Tourists can 'experience the ocean vibe' from comfort and security of the hotel grounds without real or perceived dangers of the open ocean. Ability: Swimmers from cold climates may lack experience in open water swimming with unpredictable waves, currents, wildlife and rocks. People may learn to swim for a kilometer in a pool without touching the sides or bottom. Swimming the same distance across a lake or bay introduces psychological challenges even for experienced swimmers. [/QUOTE]
