So, since I've been swimming most every day in a public swimming pool, and after some conversations with friends, I'm wondering how many people actually pee in the pool. I'm a little grossed out, so maybe this poll is a bad idea, but I'm hoping that the results are not what I expect based on the conversations I've had of late. The poll is private.

Before I was about 14 years old? every time I went in a pool. Now? of course not.
Whenever I am in a pool with kids I do assume that there is a bunch of urine in there, but that's what the chlorine is for, so I don't let it worry me too much. -
We don't swim in your toilet, please don't pee in our pool.I intend to live forever.
So far, so good.

Peeing in the pool is nasty. Nobody should ever do it. Peeing in your wetsuit while surfing? Absolutely. Especially in cold water."Nobody listens to Turtle."-TurtlesigpicComment

Several years ago, there was a rash of cryptosporidium cases(a fecal pathogen) that was linked to public pools. During that time, the pool in Price had a sign that said:Originally posted by TripletDaddy View Post

I think this needs to be required in EVERY public pool. Then I will feel safe to venture into those pools again..

For a while I used to go to the YMCA to do laps and found it gross when I would find hair, and who knows what on my hands and trunks afterwards.. It kinda caused me to not to go as much.. SPECIALLY in the summer.. When the pool is used even more.
The winter you have less people going and the pools seemed to be cleaner...Comment

This, except change 14 to maybe 6.Originally posted by Clark Addison View PostWhat's to explain? It's a bunch of people, most of whom you've never met, who are just as likely to be homicidal maniacs as they are to be normal everyday people, with whom you share the minutiae of your everyday life. It's totally normal, and everyone would understand.

When my oldest was about 6 we were at a local pool and he is in the water. He comes to the edge of the pool with a horribly distressed look on his face and screams at my wife "Mom, MOM! I have to go the bathroom NOW!" She was talking with friends and didn't immediately realize he was calling to her but instead of getting out of the water he just screams it out again loudly enough for everyone to hear. My wife hears him the second time and tells him to get out of the water and go to the bathroom in the pool house. But suddenly my son's face relaxes and he says "Never mind; its ok now." He then swims away. All our friends look at us; we were mortified.PLesa excuse the tpyos.Comment
