To think that most people pee in the pool, on holiday? Do you?

[Blondiebeachbabe]

Just back from a hot holiday. Hotel had a lovely big pool, with a swim up bar serving all manner of cocktails, wine, beer etc. People would be in the pool for hours drinking, chatting etc. Surely everyone is actually peeing in the pool? And do you?

That just blows my mind 🤯 Just why? How can you want to teach your DC something so disgusting?

Maybe OP can explain the mindset?

Swim nappies don't absorb the water.

God even my 2 year old asks to come out of the pool to pee !!!

Maybe a small child who's barely toilet trained. But adults? God I fucking hope not. That's horrible! I have peed in the sea before when I was a kid, but don't go in there for long enough now to have ever felt the urge!

Psychological.
The P is silent, as it also is in swimming pools.

I read about this experiment in Germany some years ago...not sure it was successful tho...depending on what you think successful is, I guess?!

No, of course not! Only babies in swim nappies, as I realise their wee soaks through the nappy.

Anyone else should get out and walk to the loo!

The sea is another matter as it is salt water and also vast

I mean I’ve never had my baby fill a nappy with as much pee as a swim nappy comes out full off so I’d say definitely pool water.

This is why I hate swimming pools! You are disgusting and lazy!

Never! Even DH, who is usually fairly unconcerned about which public places he pees in, would draw a line at the swimming pool.

Absolutely not.

I think the issue is it means anyone with a slight bit of incontinence and stuff like that was picked up wasn’t it. Not just actual whole pee’s. Which isn’t something that can be helped too much and I guess would go against some kind of disability rule/law.

I don't think I could even pee in the sea if I wanted to. If there's not a toilet I'm not going!

I was once told that that swimming pool chlorine smell is actually the chemicals reacting to the substances in the water and pretty much the stronger that smell the more the Pool has been peed in 😳🤢

I do t know if it’s true but it has really put me off and I used to love that smell!!

Oh god same here, dh has been known to pee in our garden ffs but he doesn’t piss in a pool!

That's why I don't swim in the pool . I call it the human stew . As well as pissing in it , think of people who don't wipe their bum properly, cum from the night before seeping out , snot and spit 🤢 🤮

I seriously hope not. I’ve spent a year looking forward to my first ever hot climate holiday in a resort, and now I’m worrying that I’ll be surrounded in the pool by other people’s piss 😲 At least you’re honest, as well as unhygienic.

Some people are determined to ruin everything for others

Disgusting and no, I would never pee in a pool nor suggest ever to my children that it is okay to do so

No. Never. I avoid jacuzzi, plunge pools, hot tubs too etc for exactly this reason 🤢

No I don't do it. From observation of the amount of parents that don't purchase swim nappies. I can imagine the parents do this themselves!

It’s disgusting 🤢

Fuck no.

Why do you think they are a troll?

Pretty much.

“Pool smell is not due to chlorine, but to chloramines, chemical compounds that can form in pool water. Chloramines result from the combination of chlorine disinfectants and the perspiration, cosmetics, and urine that enter pools on the bodies of swimmers.”

chlorine itself does have a smell too though. I hate opening that tub after it’s been stored over winter when we open the pool up.
