Do you pee in the pool?

Contributor: DeliciousSurprise DeliciousSurprise
This is my last urinary poll, I promise.

Inspired by the Do you pee in the shower? thread, I want to know...

Do you pee in the pool? What about in lakes? The ocean? Rivers? Other swimmable bodies of water I can't think of?

Anonymous poll.


And sorry for the typo in the poll responses! It won't let me edit

I have peed in a lake before many years ago...and I have peed in the ocean a few times when there is no bathroom in sight. I DO NOT pee in the pool though, and I am actually freaked out by pools because I am worried there is pee in it, though I think the chlorine probably cleans it out...at least I hope so!

I pee in the lake at camp. I admit it. Makes those warm spots

Not in a pool though

It's true. Pee is sterile so it's relatively safe but it totally grosses me out to think there's pee in the pool!

I haven't peed in a pool since I was like 9 and I saw a commercial for that stuff they put in pools to make it turn purple when urea is present. That effectively stopped that lol. And...I have not peed in a lake/river because I heard it can attract fish or other things... and I have not peed in the ocean because I have never seen it

Once in the ocean... because DAMN I had to go and we were miles, literally, from a bathroom. Heh.

I don't pee in pools/hot tubs. I mean, I know chlorine does indeed kill everything... but it's just gross to swim in it. I mean, sometimes you accidentally swallow the water.

And not that I've had the opportunity for years, but I wouldn't care if I peed in a lake/river/ocean. No different than the animals doing it (and they do!). But it'd still only be a last resort and only if I was already in the water.

And ~LaUr3n~, you've never even seen an ocean in person? Road trip!!!

In the ocean once, but it was 1/2 mile to the board walk and god only knows where the bathroom was from there. At the pool there's always a bathroom near by, so there's no need for that.

Wow...I'm amused that my original poll inspired 2 different polls on urine.

*Pats self on pack, then proceeds to pee in showers and pools belonging to other people*

On another note, tomorrow I'm going to purchase a snorkel for when I visit anyone's pool.

Oh my gosh, I understand peeing in the shower, but the pool? It just STAYS there! Diffusing and swishing around your body! That shit gets in your mouth and hair and eyes... oh no oh no oh no

I'm kinda surprised to see that people never pee in oceans/lakes/rivers. Peeing in pools grosses me out because it's a small amount of water, but I don't think peeing in a lake is gross at all. As long as you're not near anyone. I'm pretty sure cities dump sewage in there anyways.

Yes, I do pee in the ocean and in lakes but never a pool or a hot tub, anywhere. Perhaps I have been naive but I "assumed" most people would be more considerate in pools esp. with ongoing concerns with infections and diseases.

Urine is mostly water with a small amount of urea, creatinine, sodium and chloride. There is more bacteria in a person's saliva than in their urine. On every person's skin is a strain of staphylococcus, or "staph". We carry more microorganisms on our body than inside it. This is why pools are chlorinated and the pH level is checked religiously, to make sure all precautions are taken to limit/stop the growth of harmful microorganisms.

And that "dye" to turn pool water purple or some other color in the presence of urine is an old urband legend. No dye like that exists, nor could it exist. You would need distilled or at least tap water to use in a test like that, something with a pH balance of 7. Due to the chlorine and other chemicals in poolwater, any sort of test would be degraded because of the chemicals. This is just an old wives' tale that parents tell their children before they hop in a public pool.

I still couldn't pee in a pool. Eek. I'd be like "oh, crap. Who else has peed in here?" Haha.

Very well written. I remind myself about the chemicals in public pools killing everything on contact and that's the only reason I can still get myself to use them. But I still can't let myself pee in there though. Just can't.

Even if urine is pretty "clean", I think it's awfully yucky that people would do this.

I have tinkled in inappropriate places, but it is something I don't like to do and would avoid with all my strength now. I know it won't kill me to hold it for a while--I crossed the Atlantic on a plane and then some without a tinkle before.

People are always asking me to go to the ocean with them as I live fairly close to it. For many reasons I have to decline. It's often too hot, too sunny, nasty in so many ways. No thanks.

I will pee in the ocean, and I used to as a kid pee in the pool or at water parks, but I don't anymore.
