WORMS in the Pool - why??

For the past 2-3 weeks, every morning, we find scores of WORMS at the bottom of our pool. This morning there seem to be at least 50!!!

Did they jump or were they pushed? I guess the former...

Why do they do it? Weltschmerz, biological need, or are they just clueless?

Does anyone else have this problem?

Fill the pool with cement, that'll sort the problem

Hmmm... I guess you'd fill it with snow, right?

yep we get them all the time, its not pleasant picking them out of the filter I can tell you..we don't get them as bad as last year, I guess its something to do with how dry your garden is, we have the sprinklers on more now and the problem isn't as bad..or maybe there aren't as many worms..
