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.
Thanks Bud. I did look at the CDC document you linked on the day it happened. I'm not sure what the chlorine levels were on the day of the incident since they hadn't tested the pool yet. No head guard was on duty and the ones that were on duty were not ones I normally would trust to know in this situation, which is why I question their response. The circulation in this pool is horrible. I get attacked by hair at least once a week and they don't vacuum often enough.
