It's a combination of so many phobias...

Isn't it just! Water, height, bathing costumes, varicose vein exposure, my hair.......grin

No thank-you I would be too queasy up there looking down on the London Eye. Slight problem to many you have to be a resident in the apartments that it is built around heard them
talking about it on the news today.

Heights and water together - I think not!

GrannyGravy13 Wed 02-Jun-21 15:25:51

I am not a fan of heights nor a confident swimmer but I would love to try it out, just the once.

mrshat Wed 02-Jun-21 19:54:28

A definite NO from me!

M0nica Wed 02-Jun-21 20:27:46

I will be contacting the developer in the morning to buy one of the flats with rights to use this pool!

If you are swimming height makes no difference weirdly.

kittylester Wed 02-Jun-21 20:43:31

But seeing how high you are would make a MASSIVE difference to me!!

Callistemon Wed 02-Jun-21 20:52:02

No, I wouldnt.
I could not step on the glass floor, "The Walk of Faith", at the top of Blackpool Tower.

It's made me feel quite poorly just thinking about it.

Me too-my stomach just dropped when I saw it!

JdotJ Thu 03-Jun-21 10:44:15

Ooooh, yes!

sarahcyn Thu 03-Jun-21 10:50:31

Yes. I'm terrified of heights and I'd be quivering like a leaf, but if the structure did give way with me doggy-paddling in it, what a way to go!
I don't fancy walking under it though and looking up to see a lot of fat white bottoms bobbing around above my head

I read an article about the buildings. Only the people who bought theie property outright can use it. Those on shared ownership even have to use a different entrance to the building

Notright Thu 03-Jun-21 11:11:14

I'm not a great swimmer technique wise but yes at age 85 I would love to swim in this pool. Magic.

greenlady102 Thu 03-Jun-21 11:13:52

I can't swin anywhere so its a big no from me

Susieq62 Thu 03-Jun-21 11:14:20

Definitely!

Juicylucy Thu 03-Jun-21 11:20:20

Omg I would love that but I’m a bit of an adrenaline junkie body allowing.

Bazza Thu 03-Jun-21 11:20:32

I would have been up for a swim until a week ago when my class shower screen inexplicably exploded and shattered while we were watching tv. Apparently not that unusual! So no.

Chestnut Thu 03-Jun-21 11:22:59

What could possibly go wrong? ?

I would not walk or swim on anything made of glass or plastic and suspended in the air. Things can break.

Froglady Thu 03-Jun-21 11:25:58

Not a chance!

Laurensnan Thu 03-Jun-21 11:47:09

I was straight away going to say yes I'd love it .......then read Urmstongran's reply so am rethinking ?

Davida1968 Thu 03-Jun-21 11:48:31

Yes please! It looks like snorkeling in deep water - which I love. Just a rather different "ocean floor" to look at!

I have snorkelled but still don't fancy this!

Alioop Thu 03-Jun-21 13:14:21

shock Oh no definitely not for me as I can't swim and have no head for heights.
