Pools can be dirty, toxic and full of many things that make kids and adults sick. Fecal matter is just the tip of the iceberg. Children with dirty diapers are adding to unsafe swimming pools. When 1 in 5 adults admit to urinating in swimming pools, how much urine must be in public swimming pools? Nitrogen from urine can actually eat chlorine. Sweat and suntan lotion can also damage chlorine in pools.

Watch outa for da pee!
Ive had my face in worse places...
The only exception is the talk about swim diapers, those things are serious biohazards that could get a lot of people sick at once. Also known as fecal tea bags.
Hadn’t heard that term used before but it’s very apt and very descriptive.
If it's anything like my home-town lake, it probably contains the following:
Fish (to include waste products and dead fish)
Waterfowl (to include waste products and dead waterfowl)
Waterfowl-retrieving dogs
Humans (to included waste products and, possibly, dead humans)
Livestock remains
Tractors
Pick-up trucks and cars
Waste products from pick-up trucks and cars
Boats - both floating and sunk (to include gasoline, oil, and anti-freeze leaked from engines)
Bottles, cans, and other various and sundry products that have been tossed or fallen from the beaches, docks, dams and boats.
Oh, and water.
I went to the public pool when I was a kid and I’ll bet there was more harm in the over-chlorination than any germs it didn’t kill.
You sure as heck didn’t want to get water up your nose because it would burn for days.
Urine is only sterile until it gets to the bladder.
I remind you that the test for bladder/urethral infections is -— unrinalysis: examining the urine for bacteria.
But the article isn’t actually discussing that. It indicates the nitrogen in urine degrades the chlorine faster - meaning the cleaning power of the chlorine is diminished, hence increased risk of nasty water.
Nevertheless, the CDC discussing this is a major waste of time.
The late great W.C. Fields was asked if he ever considered going on the water wagon to curb his prodigious drinking habit.
Concerning water, he replied “An abominable substance, my boy. Fish [fornicate] in it!”

Going to the woods to poop on a cool morning is referred to as going to “pinch off a steamer”, so pooping in the pool would be “clipping loose a floater” ?
I swim in the river which is full of who knows what. My drinking water comes from a well about 50 feet of the river. The only time we got sick (death would have been a relief) from the water was decades ago when “they” decided to bring in helicopters to poison the undesirable fish?!? First, there were no undesirable fish and second, PEOPLE GET THEIR DRINKING WATER FROM THE RIVER!!!
Amen to that! It is absurd to let kids who are still in diapers in pools. Yuck. Besides, that it isn’t even safe for them, nor does it help them learn to swim. Kids can’t really learn to swim until their bodies are strong enough to hold up their heads properly - at least age 3.
Children have died from swallowing too much water in a pool, simply because they could not keep their heads out of the water.
Baby Ruth? lol
