There is a difference between Peeing in the Pool and peeing IN the Pool

It is tough for me to spend more than 5 minutes in a pool without peeing... I don't know why, it just happens....

Keep on swimming...

I think its more of the icky factor, probably most adults know that urine is sterile, its just seen as having a dirty connotation.

If your fit enough to swim, then surely your fit enough to walk to the toilet. Can you actually pee while your swimming? you probably have to stop anyway. I am sure you won't lose fitness from time off training. IMHO you either respect that it's a public pool and get out and use the toilet - unless they allow peeing in the pool, can you expect respect if you won't give it?

Thanks, I will pee as I feel....

Actually I do per while I swim, but I can also walk and chew gum at the same time.

In the swimming world, its encouraged to pee in the pool. Getting out to pee is seen more as an excuse to skip part of practice.

Plus its gross to go into the bathroom barefoot.

Yes. It's a very valuable skill to have.

Take a short break from ST and read my blog:

I assume that it is still frowned upon to crap in the pool? Even among swimmers?

What.... don't want to get pee on your foot? Rather just swallow a little bit?

I love it and typically announce 'free lemon lime Gatorade in my lane'.

"Really. It's OK. So pee away. "

Not true...I got kicked out of our pool for doing this. So, for the record, from the starter block while the Jr. swim team is in the next lane is not OK, no matter how far your stream can reach.

Thanks for the morning laugh! Happy Monday.

Cretins.

No coaches get mad if you are ducking out to pee...

I suppose there'll be a study supporting code browns next - the chlorine is in there for a reason! eeewww!

I will have to work on it.
I had gotten to a point of being able to pee whilst swimming - and for some reason stopped - don't know why, but every time I get out of the pool I suddenly notice I have to pee!

Next time I have to pee I am just going to wizz on my coworker's leg. He should be fine with it though because pee is sterile.

How does Danny Hart sit down with balls that big?

i just go to the bathroom. no big deal. whats grosse is when greg luganis was bleeding in a pool and didnt tell anyone he had aid. but no one caught that. sooo. thank goodness for chemicals

Wrong. Have you ever swam on a serious competitive swim team as a teenager or college? (masters team does not count)

I've had coaches where if you got out to go to the bathroom, you were kicked out of practice for the day. And this was a group of 14-18 year old's I was swimming with.

Al just left out the comma. He meant: "No, coaches get mad if you are ducking out to pee." Al swam on a very elite Canadian team from around age 8 until around 25-ish, and recently swam a 17:05 for 1500 SCM at age 35, on 2 swim workouts per week.

"Anyone can be who they want to be IF they have the HUNGER and the DRIVE."

Yep. Our coach hated people getting out of the pool and/or leaving the pool deck. After nights when he knew we had been drinking he would put trash cans by each lane so that if we had to puke we wouldn't need to leave the pool.

You must be new here right <pink>.
