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!
Okay. I was wondering if this was gross to you because people might swim through it or because it's not in a toilet. I have been in "toilets" and "bathrooms" far worse/more gross than any outdoor situation could be. I have since preferred peeing in nature to public restrooms. Not that I will pee outside normally, but of no bathroom is around....

jenny1980, L has done the same thing to me! ONE TIME, once, uno, at our pool L had to go to the bathroom and wasn't going to make it inside so I told her she could pee in the pool (WELL OVER A YEAR AGO). I monitor the pool health and chlorine so I felt comfortable making that call.
She now tells everyone ALL THE TIME that "my mommy says I can pee in the pool!" We don't even have to be AT a pool for her to bring it up. She told my mom once while we were all out to dinner. Even though on numerous subsequent occasions she has been instructed BY ME not to pee in the pool.

The one time Lucy didn't make it from the pool to the bathroom I told her, no big deal, boys pee outside all the time. Now she tells people, "mom says I can pee outside like boys do!" Come on!
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)
Dude, just pull the crotch to the side. No need to get naked to go pee.

I don't pee in pools. But I have peed in the ocean. I don't do it every time, but if we go to the beach without a public restroom and I have to go, then I do.

This thread totally did not go the way I'd anticipated.
I know! I thought four pages about peeing in pools would be one person confessing that they do it and everyone else piling on them. This is so gross. How hard is it to walk to the bathroom?
And all you people answering yes and letting me be the poster child for pool peeing suck.
Well and mofo.
I actually judge more people who pee in the ocean. I don't do that because, peace, love, save the ocean.
I am "meh" on peeing in the pool. Chemicals (and sunlight) keep it clean. The quantity of pee is a drop in the bucket of all but the teeniest of backyard plastic blow up pools. I don't actively seek to pee in the pool, but it's happened.
Plus competitive swimmers pee in the pool regularly. And, although not particularly successful, I once was one.

When you're THAT pregnant you can't reach your hands down there.

Nothing to do with pee, but I just learned this and felt like sharing.
If you can smell the odor of chlorine then a pool is not in proper chemical balance and not as clean as it can be. You can smell the chlorine because it's evaporating into the air, which is useless. You should not be able to smell the chlorine if it's in proper balance with the water.
I'm going to let you all in on a little secret: THERE IS NO BLUE DYE. Lifeguards tell you that to reduce the quantity of pee in the pool.
There is something in there that turns blue at our old gym down South. I've seen it. H came home one day, face all angry--THE BLUE DYE HAPPENED. Everyone had to clear out.
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.
I can't even believe I'm sharing this, but your post made me remember being young and my parents telling me to get out of the pool (on vacation; we never had more than a little plastic pool at home) and go over to the hose and run it over my legs while I peed. On the ground. In the public pool area.
Day two, motherfuckas. I'd be a liar, too. I've seen it on the teevee! H came home from his athletic club, said someone peed, the water turned blue, and he had to get out.
Either way, he's in trouble, because I have to take a nest break now from embarrassment. I will never trust the television, or my h, again.
There's something called "Clear Blue" that you can put into pools to brighten them up and make them more crystal and pretty (it cleans out particles and stuff). It's actually blue (bright blue) and very thick.
I never did so,* but I heard rumors that sometimes lifeguards would put a little of that in some place to make it LOOK like the apocryphal blue pee dye and the clear out the pool so they could chill out and smoke up/nap/engage in other shenanigans.
*this sounds disingenuous, but I swear to you I never did so nor did anyone else at the pools where I worked while I was working. Promise!
