The Link "In a survey of 1,000 U.S. adults conducted in April and May, 17 percent admitted relieving themselves in a swimming pool. Even the Olympics' most decorated swimmer, Michael Phelps, confessed to urinating in the water to TV host Jimmy Kimmel." "The agency also recommends that people shower before a swim, because most people have traces of feces on their bottoms, which can contaminate recreational water. In the Water Quality survey, 35 percent reported skipping a shower before swimming."
Ever been tubing before? Amazing how all those people spend 6+ hours on a river drinking beer and no one gets out to pee....hmmmmmm
If you can drink your pee (in dire circumstances), I don't see why peeing in a pool is going to bother people. And the whole "even Michael Phelps..." bit is ridiculous. A person who spends 25% of his waking hours in the water is NOT going to pee in that water? Sometimes I wonder why they even publish these "news stories".
They need to make a additive to pool water that changes color when in contact with pee. That would be pretty damn embarrassing
