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?

Not sure, our swimmers always get out and use the garbage can when they push too hard.
Turds, vomit and blood no problem. More concern with diarrhea.

I don't know how to eliminate pool urinators. Shoot them??
Yes, as I recall from my pool-op days, after a baby ruth nugget-style, we could fish it out and close for an hour while we let a little extra chlorine do its job. A more liquifeid #2, or an overnight snickers bar (something left in for several hours) and we'd have to close for 16 hours and shock the pool at least once.
I was half thinking of some of these 'matters' while swimming this morning, but there were so many leaves and other stuff in the pool from recent storms, it would have been difficult to tell what was what.

Maybe, but first you'd need to be able to identify them :)
I confess to peeing in the pool back when I was in college, but I was more of a caveman then (with apologies to the GEICO cavemen).
To the gross noise makers, pool pissers, snot tossers, and other human substance extractors: What are you thinking??!!
Is it because we are on the cusp of nakedness you feel uninhibited to a level that allows you the compulsion to share even more with us?
Please - keep the pool (water, etc.) in just the same condition as you found it.

"It's always warm in the lane when Kirk leads off...."
These days it's only due to my incredible speed burning up the water! :groovy:
"Or that's the illusion you have because everyone else is putting the
brakes on to let you get ahead wit your warm wake...hmmm"
At least you can't "pee" me in a virtual race ;)
I had friends over the other weeknd and the kids were al in the hottub... it smelt a little funky after....
