Apparently, gallinules are not especially particular about where (and in what) they swim.

Nice picture,they like soupy marsh water.

Jer, it was probably just providing you a shot where it had good contrast with the water.😊. You have to admit that it does stand out in that green slime. Nice capture.

Well, if that is all they have, then I guess they just swim in it and enjoy it.
We've got that stuff a lot over here, and the birds just have to live with it.
Nice picture of the bird and its environment.

Thanks - I guess they'd not fair well in a chlorinated pool!

Thank you, Mike - perhaps gallinules like to accommodate photographers!

Thanks for the nice words about the pic, and I'm guessing this critter may be in a slimy pool because he or she like it!
