Do you want to know how much pee you're swimming in? A scientist at the University of Alberta has some answers for you. (Those who wish to remain blissfully ignorant, keep scrolling.)
So, do you still want to know how much pee is in a pool? Well, assuming you’re swimming in a standard eight-lane, 25 yard pool, which holds approximately 220,000 gallons of water, you’re also swimming in about 20 gallons of urine. Your best friend’s backyard pool, which likely measures around 20 feet long by 40 feet wide at about five feet deep, probably contains “only” two gallons of pee. In either case, this translates to approximately 1/100th of 1% of the pool’s total volume. Peanuts, right? Well, it turns out it’s not that simple.

People are disgusting. The pool is not your toilet. Get out and use the bathroom. That’s what I do.

Don’t care. I have five sons I have had more pee on me than that much most days of my life while they where in diapers.

Did not allow guests into our first pool, and will not go into any sort of "public" pool.
We lived for a time in a condo association with pools. Wife grossed me out telling about some old geezer hawking and spitting in the pool.
Moved to a new house in a community with shared pool and spa. The spa one day had several white trash types lounging in it with a case of bud lite sitting there. I had no illusions about that trash getting out of the spa to urinate.
We had our own pool put in and no one but us used it.

When I lived in Texas I had to fish scorpions out of the pool almost weekly. Big ones too.

Urine is 95% water, so most of that 20 gallons is not a problem.
