swimming pools
You'll wade through one before you can get into a public swimming pool. What is the "proper" name for those foot-rinsing basins?

: Maybe it does, but it ain't right here....BTW, google the words "crossing basin"; of the 34 hits, NONE refers to swimming pools....This is the danger of using machine translations.
