Who wants to go for a swim?

Everybody appreciates a good poopy story.

“Let’s imagine 1,000 kids go to a water park. They have as much as 10 grams of feces on their rear ends,” she said. “We are now talking about 10,000 grams or 10 kg. That translates to 24 pounds of poop in the water.”

So one important rule – never swallow the water from a swimming pool. “Basically, these pools are big bathtubs we all share together,” Hlavsa said.

Those '24lbs' are dispersed in hundreds of thousands of gallons of chlorinated water. Every 2 hrs the operator has to check chlorine (or ozone) levels to ensure that anything that gets into the water is killed off quickly.

Dont worry about it.

A security video showed that Harris "defecated in his shorts, reached into his shorts and fling feces all over the pool," then grabbed more ####, swam to the bottom of the pool, and smeared a giant poopy X.

Yea right! YOU don't worry about it. This is why I don't get near public pools.

This is why I have MY OWN POOL. Speaking of which...laters. Time to get back to cleaning it.

10 grams!?!?

That's approx 2 teaspoons! Even as a slobbering kid, I never had that much poop in my shorts. I think this woman is a bit of an exaggerator.

So you only swim in your own poop.....

In your typical home pool, the risk of dropping free chlorine below killing level is a lot higher than in the automated systems run at the large public facilities. One bird flying over your private pool can raise your fecal coliform count way above anything you'll find at a public pool.

Dont go into the little kiddie wading pool though....

I figured Chlorine would kill the bacteria so swimming in a pool wouldn't be much different than using hand sanitizer after using the bathroom but then I looked at the CDC's pool page and it turns out that quite a few people get bacterial infractions each year from swimming pools.

Speaking of bacterial infections, I have a couple of tickets to the Warrior Dash this weekend that I won't be using if anyone would like to have them.

why, they can just jump in the pool, hopping up and down while peeing is almost as good as power washing the crack.

I honestly can not remember the last time I was in a swimming pool.
