Ahead of the summer Shabbat and Bein Hazmanim period, Rabbi Sinai clarifies the practical halachic considerations involved in entering a swimming pool on Shabbat. The segment is part of a broader exploration of seasonal halachic issues, including a recent discussion on the permissibility of applying sunscreen on Shabbat.
