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!

Hygenic debate aside, it is just bad manners to spit. You're not going to make anyone sick if you spit on the floor at work, but I bet you don't do it.
Why not take an old towel or washcloth poolside and spit into that? Then you can rinse that out in the shower or bring it home and toss it into the laundry.
