Peeing in Pools

[macuppie]

I don't know why I decided to make a thread on this but oh well :3. Many people pee in pools and in oceans, etc. I was swimming in my pool and was wondering about it. I think if you go to a public pool, then you are basically swimming in pee (I sometimes pee in public pools don't hate me I'm not the only one >_<). And in lakes/oceans I think almost everyone does. It washes around and they are pretty big so it doesn't make that big of an impact (plus fish pee right?). In my pool, or pools at houses, I think peeing in the pool is not good at all. It is someones private pool that they swim in all the time so the least you can do when you go swimming in it is have the courtesy to go somewhere else. I actually pee in my backyard somewhere on the rocks because I hate using the bathroom when I am soaking wet.
Story time!!!!
Once I really had to poop so I went in the backyard and was going to get rid of it the next morning (it was really late) and in the morning my dog had it in her mouth >_<!!! Long story short, my parents found out.

What do you think about peeing in pools? Any embarrassing stories about it (the chemicals that make the pee turn blue)? I want to hear your opinions

This is quite strange omg

I haven't been in a public pool (Except for swimming competitions where they appear to clean it beforehand) in about a year because of this. I don't like the idea of jumping in a mix of urine and water.

You could make the argument that in public pools the chlorine cleans it. But regardless of where you are it's nasty.

Ewww. I hate ittttt. I'm glad I have my own pool cuz ugh nasty. I was at the public pool with a guy once and this kid like, puked in the pool. Worst thing EVER. I'm glad I wasn't in it when it happened ha.

When I was younger, I would always pee in pools. A year or two ago, I had to pee really bad, but there was literally a line for the bathroom, and honestly I couldn't hold, so I decided to buckle down and pee in the pool. (Not trying to defend my actions her but,) I'm pretty sure theres enough chemicals in public pool water to get rid of a lot of the urine. Anyways, right as I was about to do it they called a pool check. As I stepped out of the water, I just started to pee. Long story short, my friend noticed and I was SO embarrassed.

Astornauts recycle their pee into drinking water, and the same happens here. The only difference, is that for the astronauts, the process is much faster. While down here, it isn't as quick.

This just kinda ruined water for me.

Seriously I am screaming.

I'm laughing so hard omg

I'm pretty sure I actually pooped in the pool once, but I was a LOT younger (like 4 or something). Still. It's gross.

Fun fact for the squeamish, you can only smell "chlorine" (it's not really chlorine) when it's actively in contact with impurities. Meaning the stronger the smell the dirtier the pool.

Seriously I am screaming.

Its well filtered and thoroughly cleaned using deadly chemicals before they give it to us!

I really hope no one drinks tap water <\3

Where I used to live, I would always go to this pool that was kind of a waterpark (had a few big slides and such) and kids would always poop in it and just no.

I guess the pools are chlorinated and such but you still are swimming in pee (unless it gets cleaned out RIGHT AWAY) ewwww

I can't say I've ever peed in a pool, unless I was too young to remember. Fun fact though, there is no chemical that causes urine to turn blue. Good news for all the pool pee-ers out there!

Also, urine is sterile. There's far more "gross" substances and bacteria in your drinking water than in your urine.

This is why tap water is disgusting oh my god.

I like how everyone is freaking out. There are acceptable levels for a lot of things that would gross you out. It's impossible to get rid of everything. Plus it'd hurt us in the long run. We have immune systems for a reason.

 

[Lady Timpani]

True, but like you said, some of the stuff they do leave in grosses me out lol. I guess I should just be happy they get rid of any type of feces (unless I misinterpreted the chart).

 

[Darumy]

I'm not gonna care enough to not swim, but yeah, it's pretty gross haha. Sewage dumpage in oceans is something I will not go into proximity of though.


Also no wonder people smell more chlorine-y than the pool. heh.
