Do swimmer urinate in pool? |
With all the time swimmers spent in the pool and all the water they drink....During major swimming meeting do swimmer actually urinate in the pool versus going to the bathroom? All swimmers urinate in the pool, it's just the way it is. The skin is a semi-permeable membrane that soaks up a LOT of water. You can't always take a bathroom break, especially at a competition meet, so you do what you must. The chemistry of the pool is designed to attack and sanitize introduced compounds and urine is one of the things it is very good at rendering harmless. And as mentioned above... There is ABSOLUTELY NO DYE that is used in a pool to show when someone urinates. This is a very common myth spread around consistently and those of us in the industry get asked about it all the time. It's told to children to stop them from going in the pool, but it ranks right up there with Santa Clause on the reality scale.

No, but they do have their periods in the pool. Can you imagine if they did with that dye that changes colour ? he he no, there is special dye in pools that turns the water purple if someone urinates. they either go before hand or hold it. They may it is one of the things not talked about like the fact Nascar drivers where Diapers during a race Sure, lots of 'em, but not usually off the diving board. Healthy urine is nearly sterile and the water is chlorinated. swimming pool water usually contains about as much chlorine as tap water. The thing that smell so much is chlorine that has reacted with organics. Dye is seldom used. |
