Well, we only got to swim about 700 meters tonight before we got kicked out of the pool. Lightning? Noooo..... While we were swimming they were teaching lessons on one side of the pool. Apparently some kid threw up into the pool. They made everyone get out. The manager said that any time they have "liquid fecal matter or vomit" they have to super-chlorinate the pool.
It reminded me of a time a few years ago when I went to a local Y for their annual 100 100s on 100 seconds. We were going to start at 9:00pm on a Friday night. At about 8:30pm, a kid threw up in the pool. The Y people were trying to tell us that we might not be able to swim. One of the Masters swimmers, a doctor, kept saying, "But vomit is sterile!"
I tried to use that argument tonight but it didn't work...
What is the policy at your pool?

How about those manly men who insist on making a those wretched hoch-ing noises...right before they spew a mouthful of slime into the gutter.
That is just sooo vile.
I rarely see that anymore since I am primarily swimming with 18 and unders these days but when I swam at the city rec center before...oh baby, look out scout. There were times that hearing that sound next to me would nearly drive me out of the pool, and I love to swim.
