No, I didn't take them out of context. I think you do not understand the complete lunacy of your comparison.

First of all, swimming and drinking water are so utterly not comparable when it comes to "necessity for living" that further clarification is not really required.

However consider this - you equate choosing "not to swim in a public pool" (an option which costs less than the alternative - swimming in a pubic pool) with choosing not to drink tap water, i.e. choosing TO drink bottled water (an option which costs more than the alternative).

Putting aside the absurdity of the idea of keeping fluoride, and instead drinking bottled water - an environmentally, socially, logically ridiculous concept - your suggestion represents clear discrimination based on income.

Aside from all of the studies of benefit or harm, I think the key wrongdoing here is forced medication. Why don't we load the city water with vitamins? How about adding vitamin C and calcium? Because it should be up to each individual to decide what supplements, if any, they want to take.
