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.

My experience with poop in the pool is that the powers that be remove the duke, chlorinate the area, and cordon off a undetermined area for an undetermined time period.
I'm comfortable with this. Revenue lost by closing the pool could make the difference in staying open year round or seasonally.
Chlorine is pretty potent stuff. I've never heard of someone getting sick from a tots turd in the tub.
