I've searched a fair bit, excuse me if it's been answered but...I've always had a problem with excessive mucus when swimming. Once I get up to a certain level of exertion, it just flows. I've always felt a little bad about spitting in the gutters, but I can't really help it unless I interrupt my workout. If it matters, I've never once done so in the open pool. Is this terrible and disgusting? My assumption has always been that a certain level of filtration happens between these gutters and the water inlets.
Thanks!

Spit your goop in the gutter. Be discreet, gutters echo and transfer sounds around the arena.
It's cool, most swimmers get rid of the build-up at some point.
Buy a beer to those that bust you.
If you witness/hear a swimmer performing the discharge, don't watch/listen. Be cool when you ask for them to pony up a beer.
