i have a pool in my town just like that. I would not pay any attention to what others think. easier said than done right. I know i need to take my own advice to. but with swimming i do. I love to swim. Just walk out there boldly. And jump right in. Many people dont look at ur legs when ur walking or in the pool. They mostly focus on ur face and upper abdomen. Beleive me guys loook at girls and girls look at guys. (nothing like a 6 pack on a guy to make me melt). I wouldnt worry about it. Just walk very fast and boom ur in the pool.
