> I used to be a certified swimming pool operator back when I worked in apartment communities. For whatever reason the issue of people wanting to jump in fully clothed never came up. I have mainly worked with sand filters, and my own pool's filter is a series of six paper cartridges.

> All manner of stuff gets blown into the pool, including Bougainville leaves, mesquite pollen, eucalyptus leaves, and grass, and I see it all in the skimmer baskets and the cartridges. It doesn't block them.

> Dirt of any kind is the enemy of pool maintenance, but in my experience nature is the worst offender. I remember in particular the Bastille Day mud storm of 2002 when a dust storm and a thunderstorm collided over Scottsdale. I spent two days rehabilitating the apartment complex's two swimming pools. I would repeatedly vacuum the pool and then backwash the sand filter. Fully clothed swimmers must pale in comparison as a source of dirt.
