| In America, few high schools have their own swimming pools on campus. Usually they are reserved for the more wealthy schools (such as private schools). However, general anime-watching seems to show that almost every high school in Japan has their own swimming pool. Are real high schools in Japan like the ones shown in anime? |
 |
| For the private school part is kinda false. Everything else seems to look true imo. |
| Ha. Ha. HA. HA. HA. HA. HA. HA. I'm laughing because you got hurt. |
| Swimming pools aren't common? |
| Two schools in my district have pools and I don't think I'm in a particularly wealthy school district so |
| My highschool was pretty nice and didn't have a pool. Although, there was a private swim pool in walking distance that our swim team used. I don't think any of the public schools in my area had pools now that I think about it. |
| my high school had an indoor pool connected to the locker room in between it and the gym. This school was essentially right next to a ghetto and was populated by mainly ghetto kids. |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| Pretty much every school has its own swimming pool here. |
| Dafuq.. Rich fuckers |
| Didn't have a pool, I don't think any others where I live did but I can't say for sure. There were a few middle schools that were literally right next to rec centres though so they'd have swimming and skating "field trips" |
  |
| Not sure how many other schools had pools, but the public HS I went to had an indoor pool as well. And I live in the "Armpit of America". |
| anime is also about escapism; of course they're going to have the coolest schools ever but i really like that someone from japan actually answered this o_0 |
 |
| No swimming pool at my grade schools. Though a Jesuit, Catholic private high school near my area has an indoor, Olympic size (no joke) swimming pool. |
| This thread has turned into "did your school have a swimming pool" so I'll answer that question. My high school does, though we share it with the nearby Y. |
| Another page to the history of the Fujaku. |
| Pretty sure most schools in my country have a swimming pool. Thing is, most of the time, it's shit. The water is as cold as melted ice water, as dirty as swamp water, especially the areas around. It just feels so disgusting walking barefoot around it. The public pools are much much better. |
WatchingYouPost said: I thought every school had a swimming pool. What kind of poor person place do you live at anyways? No, every school does not have a swimming pool. It's more common for a high school to not have a pool than to have a pool. You would only have a swimming pool if your school prides itself on its swim team or something like that. Swim is not part of the standard P.E. cycle of activities. Not having a pool does not necessarily mean the school is poor. It could also mean the school is not interested in supporting its swim team, for instance. p.s. I live in Los Angeles, California. |

| How should we know? Do we look like we live in Japan to you? |
| MAL: A community that thinks every anime is bad, but rates everything a 7/10. |
| Most schools do have pools. Do you live in the slums of California? |
 |
| I thought most high schools had indoor pools. My middle school had one as well. |
 |
| Some schools around here(br) don't have chair...So. But we still gonna win that world cup. |
| Some countries actually spend money on schools, instead of planes that immediately get sent to boneyards or tax breaks for multibillionaires. But despite being in America, my high school in a working-class/suburban neighborhood did actually have a pool. |

| My High School didn't have a pool :( |
| The schools I studied in don't have a swimming pool. Or an indoor basketball gym but there are outdoor basketball courts. I guess only the wealthier schools have those. I think it's cos in my country, sports are seen as only hobbies and not as career choices. And wow, a person from Japan actually answered. That's really cool.. |
| My high school (Canada) doesn't have one either. =.= |
WatchingYouPost said: I thought every school had a swimming pool. What kind of poor person place do you live at anyways? ...I'm offended. Well, I don't like my country where I live at sooo... |

Superpieguy said: I wish my school had a pool. It would maybe make P.E. at least remotely interesting. Nooooo. For me, no. I'm self-conscious about my body (as are at least 40% of the females in my grade) so I'd rather not swim with others. |

| My high school had an indoor pool as well and it's in a more rural area but still close to the suburbs. |

| The only educational institute in Swansea with a pool that I know of is the University. But by god it's a quality pool..... It's used to train Team GB olympic swimmers. Can't speak for Japan but I would guess no. Pools in anime are usually only there for cheap shots of cartoon chicks in bikini's. |
 |
| I don't have any pool in my school too and i'm okay with it |
 |
| I wish my school even had showers that work |

WatchingYouPost said: Manganese said: You guys seriously don't have pools? Is Wales some sort of 3rd world country or something?To be fair, that link does specify ELEMENTARY school children. We have swimming lessons, but so far as i know, schools just rent out the pools of the local leisure centres for an hour. |
|
| Our school never had a pool :( I don't think every single school would have a pool anyways, the upkeep for that is kinda expensive and there are usually local facilities nearby. |
 |
| My school even way back had a pool , but it was reserved only for those on the swim team. My son's Middle School and High school both had pools, his high school one was actually rather large. |
| My school had a swimming pool. |
| I'm pretty sure most schools in anime are private schools. Like, you have to pay to go. And my high school had an indoor swimming pool. I don't think its really that rare.. |
 |
| I only ever saw schools with swimming pools on TV. |
 |
| back when i was in school it was right next to a public indoor swimming pool so they just used that |
| Just because you know how to use a torrent does not give you the god given right to pirate. My actual list: https://kitsu.io/users/mattbenz99/library check out my youtube channel for my review: https://www.youtube.com/user/mattbenz99 |
| Wow, now that I think about it, most anime that I've watched that takes place in a Japanese highschool setting had swimming pools in their campus... I'm going to bet that it's actually common, not that it's really surprising to me. |

| The richest Public Secondary Schools in the world are actually in the Toronto Suburbs e.g. http://www.bondfield.com/portfolio/schools/000130billcrot/lightboxes/bill-crothers-secondary-school-01.jpg This school above has a Semi-Olympic size pool and its not a private school |
