Peeing in the pool....

but maybe?

I think I'd say something like "I can't stay out of the bathroom today and you haven't left the pool even once?" and see what person tells me.

My granddaughter loves to go to the YMCA with me for open swim. I try not to think about what's in the water and have a good time with her. We haven't gotten sick or infected or anything.

Don't know if this actually exists, but I was watching a movie, one of those low budget deals with Seth Rogan in serious role, well Michelle Williams played his wife, she was taking a water aerobics class and was laughing so hard she peed herself and it turned the water purple. Has anyone else seen this? The purple pee water, not the movie.

Take this Waltz is a cute movie.

The pee dye isn't a real thing though, it's an urban myth.

I can hold my pee for 8 hours if I haven't had a lot to drink that day. One day I worked an entire day without peeing.

When I am at the pool i do not get out... 2 - 3 hours of swimming and I do not get out to go pee. That is because I go pee before I Get into the pool and i am good until I am done. I have never in my adult life peed in the pool, I stopped peeing in the pool when I was a little kid.

Just because you get out to pee doesn't mean everyone has to.

I never pee while I'm in the pool. I always get out of the pool and then pee in it.

i would never say anything to a stranger about peeing in the water, simply because i work with so many people who have continence issues. the purple indicator is beyond cruel for people with this problem.

if i knew the person well enough to know for certain it wasn't a health issue then, yes, i would say something.

however... it's a public pool! you KNOW you're swimming in dozens of people's pee.

I never pee in the pool...I always get out and go pee in the shower and then drop a deuce in the sink...

How about "Bro, do you even pee?".

All while we're on the subject:

I am printing this one up and putting over the toilet, HELL over all public toilets. *high five* to the guy who posted this

a little extra work but thats dedication right there

BrainyBurro

there are all sorts of treats to be found in the pool! :drinker:

IpuffyheartHeelsinthegym

if that's the biggest issue in your life, then I say bravo! You must be living right.

This is both hilarious and revolting!

You should probably just never get a pool again. Unless you are the only one to ever been in that pool, odds are that there is piss in there.

It would be more appropriate to avoid water altogether.

Fish get up to some freaky business.

I don't drink my own urine because I have to. I drink it because it's sterile, and I like the taste.

Nothing wrong in peeing in the pool or the sea imo.

People are always rubbing snot from their noses and then putting their boogers in the pool. You're swimming in boogers. I hate people that wear regular clothes in pools. There's always someone with a kid in a 'regular' diaper so it never fails, there's always a 'poo' evacuation at some point. So many people don't 'groom' properly.

I miss the ignorance of childhood where these things didn't bother me. I'll get in the pool when there's hardly anyone there, when they first open. Otherwise, I layback and watch the show while my kid has fun in everyone else's goo. lol

MyChocolateDiet

The previous poster had it right except if I'm not going in my kid can't either, cause he's still learning, plus maybe that's a good practice to continue.

Also for the man looking down on the kids at the pool. Some mom's make sure our kids have pee'd right before going in and take them on regular potty breaks every so often and make sure they have sunscreen on before leaving the house. I'm one of those mom's. I can't tell you how many times I've had to overhear other kids telling their mommies, "but how come he doesn't have to put on sunscreen mom?" and only once did the mother aptly reply with "well maybe he already put it on at home so it can be soaked in nice and good before going in?". Give that lady a prize, instead of the other "oh some people don't know about it", or "everybodys' different" or "WE put on sunscreen and that's that!" lol.

Also for the man looking down on kids at the pool, I have a theory about those bikini tanning girls that are oh so acceptable at the pool. (don't throw things, I used to be one of them and will be again soon when I'm skinny and kiddo's at school again in the fall.)

Those girls can lay out for hours and the only adjustments I ever see them make are 2. Turning their chair to face the sun, and supposedly getting in the water to splash water on their arms and cool off. BUT THEY NEVER GO TO THE RESTROOM? We might have gotten there after them, and leave before them and visited the toilet 2-3 times which isn't easy or sometimes even dignified all sloshy with a little one and wet gear, but we do it. But fancy pantsies NEVER go, not once? Ever? When I used to tan, I'd have to get up for the restroom a few times during a tanning session because you're usually drinking something huge to stay cool. I'm convinced they are pretending to splash their arms for coolness while avoiding the long walk to the restroom or leaving their stuff behind or risk losing their spot by packing it all up to pee. I'm convinced these supermodel looking types are peeing in the pool. I'm onto you fancy girl. I've got your number. I think there should be a polite sign that has an arrow pointing to where the restroom is and maybe some time frame averages of how long it takes people on the average to need to go as a "suggestion". Just so they don't think they're fooling anyone.

Don't worry I'm not gonna write the sign, just suggest it otherwise it would say "Hey b!tch, you ain't that hot. Everyone knows it's humanly impossible to got that many hours without peeing and when you sprinkle your arms while sittting on the step, you're peeing on me and my kid and then we have to leave. P.S. Tell your stank SO to stop going to the jacuzzi fully dressed and only putting his feet in. It's not a pedicure tub." On second thought maybe I should make a sign?

I've managed a local pool and most newer pools have their own sensors and test water on a continuous basis. Delivering more clorine and chems as needed. I have no fear visiting a pool.

Mainebikerchick

I heart you!

what's the question

MSEVELEE

Was that from a movie? Hilarious!!

tracieangeletti

This is exactly why I stay away from swim-up pool bars. They're super tempting but what do you do when you realize the guy sitting next to you has been pounding beers for the past few hours and hasn't gotten up once? Gross bro.

After reading this I will never be able to go to a pool bar. lol

CallMeCupcakeDammit

I miss the days of being a kid and not thinking about this stuff. You think about accidentally taking a big gulp of sea water where everything takes a dump, kinda makes you not wanna get in there again. :sick: I'd imagine sitting at a swim-up bar and peeing while you drink might be a freeing feeling though! :drinker:

The pool that I swim at every day is highly chlorinated. How highly:

I have not had to color my hair in three months. It's just blond as blond can be and it's not from nature.

My swimsuit has changed color, along with my nylon swim cap.

My son's swim trunks turned from blue to orange from the water.

Every time I get chlorine in my sinuses, it burns to high heaven and I haven't had a cold or allergies since February.

My first pair of swim gloves dissolved. I replaced them and the stitching is coming off of the second pair.

Three watches that were water resistant have given up the ghost at this pool.


I am pretty sure there are pool-p*ssers in my pool, but that's what the chemicals are there for. I swim, therefore I am.

Urine is non-toxic - although it contains waste products (urea, creatine, salts and ions) these are not harmful in the concentrations present in normal urine. Most urine is also sterile, unless you have a urinary tract infection. Even then, the number of bacteria per urination will be quite small. And they are getting diluted into a very large volume of chlorine-containing water. Mine pool is about 25,000 gallons; the average volume of pee per urination is small - probably less than a pint for an adult. So that's a >200,000 x dilution factor. So the chances of any microbe surviving long enough in the chlorine to actually come into contact with me are really very very low. Not something I worry about. I do make sure my chlorinator is working at all times though!

ew, I swam competitvely and I don't pee in the pool

as to the OPs question, some people don't have to go as often. Lol I would wonder why someone was peeing so much if they were going 2-3 times in 2-3 hours :P 4-5 hours is not unusual for some people. Also it is a pain in the *kitten* to pull a wet bathing suit on so unless it is super urgent I'm likely to hold it lol

This...there are so many things going on in a pool. You either trust the chemicals or you stay out.
