I've moved the following edit to this talk page because I don't see what it has to do the Blue Lagoon:

There are many geothermal pools throughout Iceland. However, they are not for the shy! One of the pools is for nude bathing only and special consideration is made for hygiene prior to entering the pools. Bathers are required to take a naked shower before entering the pools. Amusingly, some of the pools have diagrams in the changing rooms to show you which areas to clean thoroughly while showering!

• I have just added something similar: The hygiene requirements to enter any pool in Iceland including the Blue Lagoon are very strict and it would help people if they knew this and the routines and rules before entering the pool. sailor iain 23:48, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
• I have bathed in this Blue Lagoon. Anthony Appleyard 10:21, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
• I was there last week - the lagoon is definitely blue, if it was ever green it was obviously transient. You do not have to shower _nude_, but they do ask you to shower before entering the water, but the rules are not strictly enforced. 86.144.205.24 21:15, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
• I visited the Blue Lagoon in mid June 2007 and I can confirm that at that point it was bright, emerald green. I even have the photos to prove it. --Tireoghain2 (talk) 13:20, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

Are you sure the rules are one of the strictest in the world? The requirement to shower before bathing in a swimming pool etc are present in other countries also. When I was in Mallorca, Spain, they also required a bathing cap when swimming in a public swimming pool. Such a requirement I haven't seen in Blue Lagoon when I was there, nor in Sweden where I live, where shower is also needed before swimming. In Sweden there are signs showing areas of the body needing careful cleaning. -- BIL 23:59, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

• I have also visited the Blue Lagoon earlier this year, they are not extremely strict with the rules, they reccommend you bathe before entering - I didn't take a shower, just changed & went in, they also dont force you to wear bathing caps, so there is alot if hair on the base of the lagoon which is pretty discusting (62.77.169.42 (talk) 14:40, 5 June 2008 (UTC))
