In Rockvill MD Citizens may not swim in the public fountains within the city limits. Sec. 13-64. Wading, throwing trash in City fountains and pools. (a) A person may not wade or otherwise immerse any part of his body in any City-owned fountain or pool, except in pools constructed, operated and maintained for the purpose of swimming. (b) A person may not throw or otherwise deposit in any way any trash, debris or any other matter whatsoever into any City fountain or pool, except swimming equipment in designated areas of pools constructed, operated and maintained for the purpose of swimming. (Laws of Rockville, Ch. 12, ยงยง 12-1.01B, 12-1.01C) Do you guys think that this is odd, I gett the trash peice but I have to say on a hot day I myself would like to climb into a fountain or two. I don't but it would be refreshing. Should swimming in the fountain be legal?

In Guelph, Ontario, the college kids invariably will put detergent in the downtown fountain. Suds everywhere.

I lived in Maryland and I'm familiar with Rockville. It's a nice area. I guess they want to keep it that way.
