Going in the Pool

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

If there are enough a-holes like you this is what happens

The CDC explains that urinating in a pool leaves less chlorine available to kill germs that could actually make you sick. Furthermore, uric acid in urine can interact with chlorine in the water, potentially generating hazardous airborne chemicals.

Never mind, I take back what I said about "not dangerous, definitely gross." It is in fact definitely dangerous and gross!

Once your child is potty trained, they should be able to hold it - public pools have a 15 minute break every hour. If your child can't hold it for 45 minutes, they need to see a doctor about their medical condition.

This is what the breaks for adult swim are for. Remind your kids to go then, you savages.

I think it’s definitively the older kids who have to be reminded that they need to go to the restroom.

??? I am a high schooler and if any of my friends were pool-pissers I would make fun of them mercilessly.

Maybe not high school teens but I know that there’s a time between the ages of 3 and 12 where kids like to see what they can get away with.

How would you even know?

My competitive swimmer pee in the pool. They all do it.

“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.

That doesn’t make sense and isn’t what she said.

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

For all you know I pee in your pool.

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.

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.

So you are comparing peeing in the pool to eating horse meat? By that logic, some people really enjoy it and even consider it a luxury or delicacy… Makes sense why so many people are saying they pee in the pool.

Just because someone does competitions in swimming doesn’t give them the right to pee in the public pool. They need to learn to control all of their muscles. Pelvic floor muscles will help control urine output.

You all getting up in arms about people peeing in pools are so stupid. Deal with it. LOL.

I think people don’t realize those swim diapers kids wear don’t do anything at all to keep urine out of the water.
