Yes, if there is a lot of it floating on the surface. Take a look at a ditch or shallow pond anytime from midsummer to fall; sometimes the entire surface will be covered with a green slimy layer of algae up to an inch thick.

Why is safer to have a rough surface on a swimming pool rather then a smooth surface when your feet are wet?

A rough surface in a swimming pool is safer because it provides better traction for wet feet, reducing the risk of slipping and falling. Smooth surfaces can become extremely slippery when wet, increasing the likelihood of accidents. Additionally, a rough texture can help maintain grip even when wet, enhancing overall safety for swimmers and pool users. This is especially important in high-traffic areas around the pool where slips are more likely to occur.
