In an effort to swim closer to home I started going to a community pool nearby. Just as I was about to get in a lane, the young woman in it stopped at the end, hawked something up, and spit it in the gutter. Then she did it again.
The lifeguard to whom I pointed this out said that the gutters empty into the sewer. I don't think so, and even if the water is sent through the filters, is spitting in the gutter now acceptable?
Wasn't when I swam in college 35 years ago, isn't at the (expensive) club I was trying to substitute for. But is this dirty or am I being foolishly fastidious? Your honest comments please!

I don't care for spitting in the sense you get a moutful of water and spit it back out. Now if you are spitting out the phlem it's nasty. I know chlorine kills bacteria but I don't want to see a big ol' wad of nasty floating by me. I've been sick for a week and it's really not that hard to get out and go to the bathroom to blow your nose,etc.
