Going in the Pool

I hate to admit it but I also think it’s just very common for kids to pee while swimming because they just don’t want to get out and they don’t think they will get caught.

I'm a shoes off in the house person and I also sometimes pee in a pool. The last time I did it was a gated complex pool in Florida and it was just me and my toddler in the pool. I didn't feel like getting us both out and dealing with the bathroom.

It's a funny thing to be grossed out about since I can't think of an actual concern about diluted pee in a pool. Are you worried about getting sick? Tragedy of the commons type situation? I'd be grossed out if I didn't feel like it was totally diluted. But it is.

+1 same. Shoes off but I sometimes pee in the pool. Pee is sterile.

Once you realize that swim diapers do nothing to contain pee, why are we hung up on this? Lol.

In all seriousness of course I would never and I’m careful to make sure my newly potty trained kids make it to the bathroom. But the babies and toddlers are peeing with abandon.

haha... my best friend had a pool, growing up, and I spent a ton of time there. Her mom read all the neighborhood kids the riot act with that same thing: there's a chemical in the pool that will turn the water a dark color if you pee in it, so EVERYONE will know it was YOU!

They also had a sign on their pool gate: "Welcome to our 'OOL.' Notice there is no 'P' in it. Please keep it that way."

Shoes on in the house person and I don't pee in the pool. Because it's my pool.

Ocean sure, and maybe a public pool here and there where everyone else is doing it anyway.

Babies certainly pee in the pool. And most public pools have babies floating around. Toddlers do too. Young elementary is probably the most reliable not to because its still ok to check and ask if they need to go potty. I think its upper elementary kids that pee the most!

As an adult I never pee in the pool because its not hard to get out and use a bathroom and also because I don't spend a lot of time in pools. I definitely pee in the ocean though, agree with the other poster that I'm not walking back to the condo for a bathroom break when the ocean is right there.

Shoes off in the house person, and I don't pee in the pool either. However, I do love to swim and don't have my own pool so I swim in public pools with no worries - I just shower afterwards.

It seems like most of the people here would be completely fine with even older children doing this.

This is why I won't go in public pools. It is simply disgusting. These people are animals.

So let's do it like they do on the Discovery Channel.

“I don’t pee in my own pee. A public here and there”

These statements show what an incredibly rude person you are. You sound like the type who would tell their 4 year old “just go in the pool, no one will know”. And the next rude inconsiderate person has begun training.

Lots of things that pose a minimal health concern are still gross. For example, horse meat is taboo in much of the US despite the only meaningful difference between a horse's meat and a cow's meat being that we ride horses. THIS ISN'T TO SAY that these taboos are bad-- just that something that causes no immediate harm can still be gross and cause people to judge you. I genuinely can't offer a logical gotcha other than to say that pissing in a public pool is nasty, sorry. I did not consent to sharing a body of water with your pee -- especially if you're an able-bodied adult.
