      I’ve worked at pools. its about a half dozen times a summer at a fairly busy pool. pool gets shocked (extra chlorine) and then I forget how many hours and its good to go. oh and any chunks are netted out first. the lifeguards get a nice break.

          eh. I was the poor lifeguard sometimes. not much worse than picking up your dogs poop. its not like you have to do it with your mouth, there are gloves and bags.

    You can probably avoid every pool if you’re scared of this ;)

    not so funnny/haha details

    Btw, that “swimming pool” smell what is usually associated with bleach/chlorine is the smell of chlorine that breaks down organic compounds, so if it smells like that, it means it’s already processing urine/e-coli

    This is like the dead body theorem.

    People won’t swim in a pool if someone shat in it.

    But people will swim in the ocean knowing there is large amounts of shit in it. So there is some ratio of water to shit where people stop finding it acceptable.
