To think that this comment at the swimming pool was grim ?

[Flukewoman]

I took my toddler to the swimming pool today and overheard something which made me when we were in the changing rooms afterwards.

There was another parent with two children, aged about 4 and 6 ish. The parent left the children in towels in a cubicle for a moment while opening up their locker.

When she came back she started shouting at the younger child who had evidently peed in his towel. She shouted that he should never do that in his towel as it is disgusting. Then she said "you know if you want a wee you do it in the shower, not in here!"

AIBU to think that's really rather filthy advice at a public swimming pool? The toilets are right next to the showers...

Broccoli, I always wonder what it would feel like to come across a thread about something I'd done

It wouldn't bother me in the slightest. Swimming pools are full of diluted sweat, and wee in the shower washes away much faster than the sweat.

I swim everyday and Ive just realised that when I kick off the wall I sometimes enjoy filtering water through my mouth (or feels like that ) I absolutely don't give a fuck that beyond the lane ropes are kids (and adults) pissing. Obviously I'm therefore not bothered about the shower issue....
