The diving pool at the Rio Olympics has turned green, and inquiring minds -- like silver-medal-winning U.S. diver David Boudia -- aren't sure why.
["Wait is someone playing a joke or are we celebrating St Patty's Day early here in Rio?"]
Tom Daley, who won bronze for Great Britain in Rio, is equally puzzled.
["Ermmm...what happened?!"]

We don’t swim in your toilet, please don’t pee in our pool.

Normally the poop
Turns their water a deep brown

I watched the diving competition the other night and after their dives the athletes would get into what looked like a hot tub. The water was yellow and cloudy. I thought to myself ;you couldn’t pay me to have contact with ANY of that water.

My first guess would be some kind of soluble copper salt, possibly from the plumbing.
Whatever it is, I wouldn’t be diving in it until I knew a lot more.

Maybe there’s a kale craze in Rio?

One can clearly see that the pool on the right is highly jealous of the pool on the left!

Either algal bloom (must be a LOT of nutrients added to that water!) or copper contamination. In either case, you wouldn’t catch me in that goop.
