Has anyone ever tested the water of their neighborhood pool or rec center/health club, just for kicks?

What's seen can't be unseen.
I started using ear plugs to reduce ear infections from lap swimming in public pools thinking it was my sensative ears, nope.

That would be interesting to do. Our community pool is always cloudy. I’ve never seen it not cloudy. Wonder how I could get a water sample since I never go there anymore

I always talk about testing the water when we go on vacation. 2 things though. We don't go on vacation and I would never swim in a public pool.

My son and I are going to Pensacola June 1 to see Brit Floyd, a Pink Floyd tribute band based in the UK, and I have been forbidden to take the test kit. I may sneak the FAS-DPD test with me, though.
I see a lot of laying BY the pool, but not going in, in my future!

We saw Australian Pink Floyd in Houston about 9 years ago. It was fantastic. As for the public pools, I posted a CDC write up here a while back you don't want to go there!

See if this works
Us CDC (center disease control) and residential pools
Since in 2016, CDC (US Center for Disease Control) mandated CYA levels be maintained no higher than 15ppm -in public pools (Im assuming they’re reasoning was wanting fast kill time for brown and yellow accidents in large public pools with young children) do families of younger kids ever factor...

I saw Pink Floyd on their Pulse tour in 1994 at Death Valley stadium. Best concert I have ever seen in my life.
