Just had a check, in England, tapwater is kept under 1ppm. Pool water is kept under 5ppm. So 5 times as much, not the same.

I just looked again and that web site I linked had the decimal wrong
it is 1-3 PPM

From experience I can tell you that public swimming pools have WAY more chlorine than tap water. From smell, taste, stinging eyes etc.

They must just assume Brits don't bathe often.

Bathing doesn't remove bacteria.

Depends on the soap doesn't it?
Actually the biggest issue in commercial pools is suntan oil and other
things people smear on themselves. You end up with a scum line along
the tile.
