AmStatic1: FTA: .. banning urination in the pool is also important.

Ya THINK???

Ain't gonna happen, unless you have an alarm that shames the person.

Having swimmers shower and banning urination in the pool is also important, Plewa says

Well, thank Poseidon they tacked that on at the end.

that sounds like my kids' problem, not mine.

/pool in San Antonio is a must

As a pregnant lady who has been spending a lot of time at the pool this summer, I'm TOTALLY farkING FREAKING OUT and getting a kick out of these replies.

Personally I love peeing in pools and will fight any ban that Obama tries to enforce.

Yeah, I doubt very many pool-urinaters are under the mistaken impression that the act is allowable as specifically stated in the rule book.

Sounds like a radical reaction.

Negative health outcomes can occur when disinfection byproducts form reactions with organic matter in swimming pool water

Um, duh. Isn't that the reason we put it there in the first place?

This is why I only swim in lakes and oceans.

/wants to go back to Jax Beach

Just wanted to point out that the article should include hot tubs.... same chemicals if not more. Good thing I couldn't spend that much time in one until the kids grew up. My only issue was at a Holiday Inn where I once stayed that gave me one hell of a rash after a 30 minute dip. I'm guessing they needed more chlorine, or needed to change the water more often.

My wife and I sold our house that had a in-ground pool after my dick shriveled up to 10" and her boobs grew to 42DDD. I totally believe this article.

I like the way you think. On the other hand, 10 years from now they will probably be saying that a pool full of urine and sun screen actually kills cancer. Go figure.

Having swimmers shower and banning urination in the pool is also important, Plewa says.

But taking a dump and farking a chick on her period is still OK?

/at the same time?

We have a lot of nice lakes around here, my company has a great private cove and stand of cabins about 45 mins from my house that I can rent for $5 per night. My wife and I use that a lot, but I would still sell out everything and move to Jax Beach if I could just find a job there...

PacManDreaming: FTA: "In addition to organic matter and disinfectants, pool waters contain sweat, hair, skin, urine, and consumer products such as cosmetics and sunscreens from swimmers."

And that is why I refuse to go into a public pool. Every time I see someone in a public pool come up to the surface and spit water out...ick.

Ever see the inside of the pipes that bring drinking water to your home?

Why are we surprised that surrounding ourselves in chemicals for years and years might cause problems like cancer, birth defects, etc etc?

Don't worry. The moment these pools make enough people sick that insurance companies notice it's taking a toll on their coffers, law makers will go to work on the problem.


/cigarettes

As a pool inspector, getting a kick... Seriously, each pool just depends on the maintenance person. Is there an onsite guy who works on the pool every day, or is a company there twice a week to dump some sodium hypochlorite in the pool and leave? I wouldn't get in most of the pools I see, and under no circumstances would I get in a public spa. Listen to one talk on recreational water illnesses and you will feel the same way.

They've already done it with diving boards.

yep.

We were in Oklahoma City at a LaQuinta last Saturday. It was freaking hot and I wanted to hit the pool. No dice...there were at LEAST fifteen teenagers swimming in the tiny puddle they called a pool. I don't like swimming in any public pool if there is more than a couple of other people in it. Those little shiatheads were there for the rest of the day.

/Hubby had to sit on me to keep from throwing a box of soap in it from our third floor balcony.

//FWIW, we got half off the room thanks to an unplanned 3am wake up call. "Yeah, I'll go find Joe...HEY, JOE!!! WHERE THE FARK ARE YOU!!!"

Urinate. Urinate? If you had bigger boobies you'd be a 10.

I'm starting to look through http://content.clearchannel.com/Photos/People to see what other goodies they have. It's a long list, though

Get it?! It's chlorine!

/it's funny 'cause it's poisonous.

Fellows, let's be reasonable, huh? This is not the time or the place to perform some kind of a half-assed chemistry lab assignment on swimming pools...

"The best method to treat pool waters is a combination of UV treatment with chlorine as compared to chlorination alone," Plewa says.

Yeah, cause I'm definitely trying to block the sun from reaching my backyard.

Having swimmers shower and banning urination in the pool is also important, Plewa says.

Since it's considered acceptable unless stated otherwise. o_0

Note the overuse of the words "may" and "can," btw. *yawn*

/will continue to enjoy my swimming pool, plz and thx

Chemicals!? Oh noes!

You might want to use a term that's a little more specific. Everything you touch, breathe, consume, and are composed of are chemicals.

I know what you mean my friend... the rural way is for me, but my job skills tend to be elsewhere. Can't make a living these days skinning Beaver pelts.

Even with the current state of the economics I'm not starving, but I sure would have liked a different lifestyle.

Yeah but he only means the BAD chemicals, you know, the BAD ones. That are bad no matter what. There's no such thing as a safe exposure, because all chemicals are BAD. BAD BAD BAD

CasperImproved: Just wanted to point out that the article should include hot tubs.... same chemicals if not more.

Could be different ones if you use other methods of disinfecting, like ozone. Now I'm just waiting for research on the chemical byproducts of this stuff.

Like that deadly Di-hydrogen monoxide. It has killed more people than any other chemical in history.

Well, to be fair, there are a lot of ways to die from dihydrogen monoxide...
