Swimming Pools Are Public Toilet Bowls for Many: Survey
Yahoo ^ | 6/1/12 | Piper Weiss, Shine Staff

Posted on 06/01/2012 11:41:10 AM PDT by SaraJohnson

If you're taking a refreshing dip in a pool with four other people, odds are one of you is urinating. This is not gross-out myth, but cold, depressing fact from a recent survey conducted by the Water Quality & Health Council, a scientific research group sponsored by the American Chemistry Council.

The survey, conducted in April, asked nearly 1,000 adults whether they urinate in pools. One in five bravely admitted their mistakes. And those are the ones who admitted it.

Exactly, 2 oz in 22,000 gallons. I bet Poland Springs has more impurities.

... and two of the other three passed gas.

I hate that tell-tale gas bubble that inflates the back of your shorts and rides upward.

Not to mention when you are down about 80 feet its rather inconvenient to surface just to pee.

besides the pressure shrinks your bladder which make you go pee more.

Fish do it so it must be ok.

Among divers there is a saying; there are those who pee in their wetsuits, and those who lie about it.

I have a friend who does this when diving during the winter. It keeps her warm, or so she says.

Depends on the water temp, if she’s winter diving it does provide a short term burst of warmth. Then you realize why you’re smiling and pull the suit away from your body to flush out the pee.

Do it up current from your dive buddy and then laugh. Ahh the joys of juvenile behavior.

hehe. Unless you have a UTI or bladder infection, urine is sterile-- just a bunch of chemicals that smell funny.

And when down 80 ft it then also becomes a good way to warm up. Its friggen cold that deep.

There are a lot of fishes living in our oceans, rivers and lakes. Has anybody given thought as to where exactly these creatures go to relieve themselves?

Ewwwww. Now I am going think about that! I think you may have been in training with my dad.

Once my little sister was eating chicken and dad asked her if she liked it. She nodded and dad said, “Good! It’s the chicken’s butt.”

That’s why people have a sign at their swimming pools that says, “Don’t piss in my swimming pool and I won’t drink out of your toilet”!

When the tempurature is around 32 the pee warmth is kind of welcome!
