Pool closed due to poop - question

During the first 50 of warm-up I spotted poop this morning. I confirmed it on the 2nd 50 and got out to tell the coach. Eventually they closed the pool, cleaned it out and threw in some chlorine directly in to the pool. But then they reopened about 30 min later. I was a bit shocked that they opened it so soon. The pool is a 50 meter x 25 yard pool so pretty big and they only threw in one 5 gal bucket of chlorine before letting us all back in. Does that sound right? If I remember my life guarding days right, poop means several hours of shutting down. I was disappointed to have the workout suspended but I certainly didn't want to risk us getting sick, either.

  • I have been swimming Masters for a while at our pool and happy that they have a seperate instructional pool. When **** happens, they cancel all instructional classes for that day, but none of the swim practices are affected because they are in a different pool. I always wondered what happened to the kids who did the deed though. Recently I signed up my daughter for the 4-5 yr old class and part of the signup says that if your kid poops, you pay $200 and are banned from the pool. That was pretty good motivation to make sure she would not mess up. David, is she going to the new Gwinnett pool?
