I do have to say, growing up, my Mom and Dad were all "go behind the raspberry bushes and pee through your suit." So I can only imagine how much pee residue was brought back into the pool.
DS told me this morning he likes drinking the pool water at the Y. I told him that was disgusting and he said it tastes good. Barf. I hesitated to tell him why but this thread now gives me backup when DH calls me a germaphobe.

Lololol jenny1980, that story was far better than I imagined. 'THAT WOMAN just told her dtr to pee in the pool'. LOFL
ETA: And the key!
OMG that was seriously the road trip of epic Lucy bathroom drama lol.
The whole day on the way to Elko she would INSIST that she had to poop RIGHT THEN. And of course there is fucking NOTHING between Tahoe and Elko. So, we would stop in the middle of the desert (where it was like NINE THOUSAND DEGREES) and I would try and convince her that one of the dog's bowls was a "little potty" and she would squat down sobbing "I caaaaan't poooooooop in Hugo's booooooowl!!!" We did that probably five or six times LOL.
She finally pooped at the scariest gas station known to man, btw.
Oh, and when we got to the hotel she promptly peed on my Dad. Taking a newly potty trained kid on a road trip is bad news lol.
No. I'm way too afraid the water will turn blue and everyone will know I peed.
I have a similar hang up, I feel like everyone would know I peed so I can't do it. I did do competitive swimming when I was younger, and there are times were you have no choice, but I remember holding it until my last relay lap leg so I didn't have to swim through it :?
I have peed in the pool before but I think the majority of those times were when I was a kid. I can't recall the last time I peed in the pool so that's a good sign, right?
jenny1980 that is an amazing story, thank you. We took DD newly pt'd on a roadtrip last summer and I kept telling her to just go in the pull up and she refused. And then refused at the 4 gas stations we stopped at for her. It was a 5 hour long trip of her crying b/c she had to go. She'll finally go in public now, thank goodness.
I don't think twice about peeing in the ocean or a lake. That's how it's done on boating days!
I'm hosting about 40 2-4 year olds at a public pool tomorrow for a party. I will be scrubbing my feet and calves super hard in the shower after.

Last summer when I was waaaay pregnant, hell yes I peed in our pool. Do you know how much effort it is to get out of the pool, walk to a bathroom, try to wrangle out of a wet suit, pee, and try to get said wet suit back on while 7-9 months pregnant when you have to pee every 20 minutes? Hell no.
I will say that my 4.5 y/o knows not to pee in the pool. He gets out and just pees in our grass instead. (We live in the country)
OMG WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU DISGUSTING PEOPLE?
WHY IS THE OCEAN OKAY AND NOT THE POOL?
WHEN WE BUILD OUR POOL AND HAVE A PARTY TO OPEN IT, MANY OF YOU WILL NOT BE RECEIVING INVITES.
AUGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHH
The ocean is okay because it's the big ocean and covers more of the earth than land. It is constantly in motion and disperses the pee in seconds. I would never do it near other swimmers, but far away from others. What do you think the animals that live on the ocean do?

The sealife has no choice! It's not like they have restrooms in there!
