There is something off about these pics,...
Nobody's swimming in the ocean. The security won't allow people to swim because the water is polluted from the outflow of the Rio Ozama.
That's why they have all these portable swimming pools which the political candidates use for displaying themselves for the elections by the looks of it. They probably will only last till the elections also and after that?
The portable swimming pools are already gone.
They were there from Wednesday to Sunday for Semana Santa which was a big success.
Cleanng up the river is another story.
I wonder where the pools will end up...
They said they would be taken to poor barrios around the city.
Hmmmmm where will the water come from to fill them up? Where will the chlorine etc come from to keep the water clean? I'm afraid that the mosquitoes will be happier than the people.

I understood that these pools would be taken to specific locations on certain dates like holiday weekends, not installed permanently. That means they would be filled by municipal staff and used for just a couple of days at a time, before being emptied and removed again. At least that's how I read it.
