In no particular order, don't yell at me. :)
you can actually safely swim in these pools. Just don't go diving too close to it. water is that good at shielding radiation.

Swimming to the bottom, touching your elbows to a fresh fuel canister, and immediately swimming back up would probably be enough to kill you.
Yet outside the outer boundary, you could swim around as long as you wanted—the dose from the core would be less than the normal background dose you get walking around. In fact, as long as you were underwater, you would be shielded from most of that normal background dose. You may actually receive a lower dose of radiation treading water in a spent fuel pool than walking around on the street.
So you're saying that you can swim in an energy drink?
Look at you! You’re glowing today!
