Can you swim with your fish?

[MiniReef10]

I know this is a strange question but I have a 40' round 5' high outdoor saltwater pool all ready for fish. I was planning for a few bonnetheads. I decided that even better then that was to swim with the fish. I was wondering if you could swim with harmless fish
thank you

Haha odd question but very coool. Im sure you can, just make sure your not wearing sunscreen or bug spray, theres also a few other chemicals that could possibly be harmfull to the fish. Otherwise, people in public aquariums swim with their fish all the time =) so i wouldnt see why not

No, in the process of trying to get pictures I dropped my phone in the water. Unfortunately it didn't survive.

You shouldn't have a problem. I used to take care of 3 5000 gallon aquariums full of look downs. To clean the glass I would swim in them once a week. I would not use any products in my hair or wear deodorant until I was done in the tanks for the day. I would wear a regular bathing suit and rash guard but was sure not to wash them with detergent just hot water.

Cool!

You know, they do pee in the pool
Also, if you keep puffers in there, I would definitely wear a suit....

If I had that I would scuba dive in it. I couldn't stand to just look from above!

Fish Tank Kings had an episode with a big outdoor saltwater pool of fish. The owners swam/snorkelled in it.
