Transition foot pool

Is this what you're talking about?

I have this one. It is actually quite cool. The nice thing about it is that you don't need much water in it and the water doesn't splash out easy so its not messy. If you do it right it is faster than rinsing with a bottle, you can unrack your bike with your feet in the water.

To be honest, for most of the races I've done its been more of a toy than a real necessity, except for Catalina where the Transition area is in the sand, then it was really nice.

a) You really don't need one of these.

b) If you really think you do, a $3 tupperware container will work just as well as the $20 "pool".

I used to use a rubbermaid box.  Then realized I don't really need one as by the time I got to my TA much of the sand/dirt is gone.  All I had to do is wpie my feet with a towel using the "brushing" motion. 

Or, you may get an inflatable tub kids play with on the beach.  Get it in a toy store, much cheaper than the ones in tri stores.

Yes, I am so tempted....

The tris I do with a beach swim provide a series of kiddie pools to run through between the swim exit and transition. Keeps the water, the spillage, and some of the buckets out of transition.
