  • Oh good grief.Urine is not a particular source for bacteria.In healthy people urine is sterile.It does bond with chlorine to form harmful compounds and I don't recommend using the pool as a urinal,but it isn't a public health menace.Not showering,especially not showering after a land workout and then treating the pool as your personal bathtub are a bigger issue.
