This comment is not elitist, it is an unfortunate truth. Moreover, this happened only quite recently. What you are not supposed to say out loud is the fact that the majority of these "low education bracket people" who a behaving badly in public pools are young Muslim men who recently immigrated as refugees.

This is not at all a recent phenomenon. A couple of decades ago, when going to open air baths in Berlin after school, the same things could be observed. Same clientele as well though, low class, low education, patriarchal and religious young men, predominantly.
I have been living in Berlin for more than four decades and, yes, it’s a recent problem.
Then maybe you didn't visit public baths as a youth, because I don't know what to tell you, it's been an issue as long as I can remember (born here, close to four decades ago).
