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!

Go ahead and blast away. The urine in the pool is sterile, so that will help.
And besides, mucous doesn't form until you are getting well.
The amount of time it takes to get the loogey from the gutter back into the pool is sufficient to break it down and dissolve most of the AIDS or HANTA virus you were worried about.
