It runs during the day for several hours, but

Seems like it would be difficult not to

Potentially your eternal soul if you give into temptation and use it on Sunday.

We just have a big jacuzzi spa instead. We like warm water

You may need that in Utah but in Texas the water is always warm

You don't need a pool. Just swim in a pond near you.
