  • Hi, I'm Rob, and welcome to Six Minute English,

  • where we talk about an interesting topic and six items of related vocabulary.

  • And I'm Neil, and today we're talking about Wetiquette.

  • What's that, Rob?

  • I have no idea.

  • Well, you won't find Wetiquette in many dictionaries.

  • It actually means swimming pool etiquette.

  • Wetiquette, get it?

  • Etiquette is a set of rules for how to behave in social situations,

  • and Wetiquette is a set of do's and don'ts to keep things calm in the water.

  • Do's and don'ts are also rules telling us how to behave,

  • so things like no running by the pool or no diving in the shallow end.

  • Am I right?

  • Yes, and no, Rob.

  • Those are traditional swimming pool rules,

  • but Wetiquette covers slightly different things.

  • Okay, well, before we get to those,

  • I have a question for you, Neil.
