Swimming Pools Are Public Toilet Bowls

Swimming Pools Are Public Toilet Bowls for Many: Survey | Healthy Living - Yahoo! Shine


If you're taking a refreshing dip in a pool with four other people, odds are one of you is urinating.

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.

The additional bacteria we carry on skin, in particular sweat and traces of fecal matter (yes even on adults),gets mixed in the pool. "If disinfectant isn't right, bacteria is allowed to grow in pools, so someone accidentally consumes a mouthful of water like we all do when we're swimming and suddenly they're subject to serious bacteria like E.coli or salmonella."

Another signal it's time to get out of the pool: burning, stinging eyes. Although it's not seriously harmful, when "urine combines with chlorine it becomes an irritant," Wiant says. So if you find yourself squinting in pain after a dive, ask yourself why that person doing the backstroke in the next lane looks so relaxed. It's not that nice of a day.

I don't use a public pool. Public pools have been given to the Buck dancin Negroes because they like to treat them as public toilets

Do you remember the movie trailer for that movie with Adam Sandler and Kevin James, I think; I can't remember the name of it. The two of them p*ssin' in the pool and someone says something like, 'You know they put stuff in the pool that changes color when somebody pee's.' 'No they don't,' was the reply, but lo and behold.....clouds of blue water in the pool; or whatever color it was.....

Yup, I'm full of useless info just like that.

I don't swim anywhere except my bathtub.

 

[SoMD_Fun_Guy]

Glad I have my own.

Why? Because you're the only one that gets to pee in it?
Didn't you ever learn to share?

 

[GWguy]

Glad I have my own.

Oh, btw, I stopped by and whizzed in it.

YW.

Doesn't matter. I wouldn't stick my head in bath water (even my own)

Ya think?

Don't worry too much about public pools: with the new ADA compliances they are REQUIRED to meet, namely assisted entry systems and retraining personnel at a lowly cost of some TEN THOUSAND dollars each. many pools will likely be filled in and used for community gardens instead of swimmin' holes...

When was the last time someone got a flesh eating bacteria from swimming in a pool?

I'd be more concerned about the flesh and brain eating college rejects.

Glad I have my own.

But does anyone really find this article shocking? I've always been leery about public pools and all the germs from various people there. Growing up on Long Island was great, we got to swim in the polluted ocean or Bay instead.

Oh, btw, I stopped by and whizzed in it.

YW.

Such a great buddy you are to her!
