It’s not BU to shit in the Center Parcs pool

Or at least that’s the assumption I’ve come to after my most recent visit.

We went to the pool 4 days (for a maximum of 2 hours each visit)

3 of the 4 times they had to shut the wave pool because it had been pood in.

We go at least twice per year and have it at least once a trip.

HOW?!?!?

For god sake people. Don’t shit in the pool. Dont let your kids shit in the pool. Check nappies.

We didn’t go in the wave pool all week because of the public’s seeming inability to use a toilet.

When I was a lifeguard in the 90s we called it 'operation brown trout' and fished it out with a net Grin

I was followed around the CP pool once by a poo covered garden pea. Every time I spotted the pea a little bit more poo had been washed off it. I don't know why I persevered in the sub tropical swimming purgatory and didn't get out. Still go to CP with the teens (field archery, paint ball etc) but rarely venture into the pool these days

When dd did it it was a solid floater which apparently cleared the pool like a scene from Jaws!

Saymaname · 06/09/2018 14:42

We’ve had this happen a lot in holiday villages and the Alton towers swim park but never CP! Confused Disgusting

NicoAndTheNiners · 06/09/2018 14:42

Alternating between giggling and feeling a bit sick at the poo covered pea.

Sleepyslops · 06/09/2018 14:44

Urgh I'm gipping at the poo covered pea

Operation brown trout 😂😂😂

I also don't think non-toilet trained people should be allowed in pools. Or mandatory separate kiddie pool. I stopped using my local pool because of the smelly toddlers.

BarryManilowRocks · 06/09/2018 15:08

Recently paid a lot on holiday to go in some adult-only thermal baths - which were then closed due to somebody shitting in it.
May not be kids!

We arrived at our holiday resort a few months ago, ready for an indulgent week of relaxation. Strolled up to reception to get the keys to our “luxury lodge”. Barely had we said hello before the receptionist gleefully announced the pool was closed for the day as someone had shat in it 😂. It was a bad omen. Our “luxury lodge” was a hovel. We ended up leaving and getting a refund. Had a staycation instead! Pools with loads of children are just horrible. Sadly my dd loves them. I draw the line at shit though.

I don’t know whether to Grin or Shock or Confused or Sad.

I used to work in a vair, vair nice hotel spa. We had to have a quiet word with a lady who had been squatting in the (full of other guests) steam room, pulling her swimsuit to one side and pissing into the drain in the middle of the floor Envy (not envy).

Babies/toddlers should always have happy nappies on top of their swim nappies!!

soupforbrains · 06/09/2018 15:15

it is DEFINITELY too much 'traditional' mumsnet centre parcs anal loosening up everyones holes a bit too much.

serbska · 06/09/2018 15:19

+1 for not allowing non-toilet trained children in the main pool

serbska · 06/09/2018 15:19

@YolandaTheYeti no way!!!!!!

I’m sorry to say it’s true!

pinkmagic1 · 06/09/2018 15:21

This is why I refuse to use public pools!

DurhamDurham · 06/09/2018 15:21

Oh can I join in Grin

I was getting dried in a changing area of a Centre Parcs and a used tampon floated by in the water drainage channel which ran through the cubicle.

TheNoodlesIncident · 06/09/2018 15:23

DH and I were in our local council run swimming pool when DH saw an attendant circling the pool with a long net. DH naturally asked why and receiving the laconic response "Poo", he hissed to me "Water bourbon!"

You never saw a pool empty so fast. Swimming records may have been broken.

I remember years ago at the ice rink there was a single lonely turd sitting at the side of the rink. I must have skated past dozens of times and it never occurred to me to go and report it, I can't think why Confused I would these days

YolandaTheYeti · 06/09/2018 15:25

I don’t know why but this thread is making me laugh so much. It may be verging in hysteria as I’ve promised dd I’ll take her swimming tomorrow 😱.
