How large would a pool have to be for you to swim in it if there is also a corpse in the pool? (lemmy.world)

There are many corpses in the ocean, but nobody has any corpse-related qualms about swimming in the ocean. But most people would not swim in a pool with a corpse in it.

Freshly dead body I'd probably not worry about the size. Rotting I'd want at least two Olympic pools worth of distance and I'd still have my swimming ruined.

If it was the ocean I'd probably swim 100m away cause tides and wind are moving things around.
