Does anyone else gets grossed out by the whole idea of public swimming pools?!


Question: Does anyone else gets grossed out by the whole idea of public swimming pools!?
i'm a little bit of a freak and tend to perseverate on germ issues, but seriously:
a bunch of people get in a pool of water and swim around!. you don't know if they wiped their butt well, clean their privates regularly, or even wash their hair!. you don't know if they have diseases or infections, or incontinence issues!. WHO KNOWS what is leaking out of their orifices!. and kids pee and spit and who knows what else in that water all the time! it's all just very disgusting to me!. i just think of all that water, douching every hole and crevice in every person's body who is swimming in it!. ew!.
have you seen some of the people around you!? they are just gross!. and if you swim with them, you are essentially bathing in water that could have possibly just douched their bunghole or vagina!.
am i thinking too much into this!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

I'm with you the heck with public pools!.I will only swim in good clean rivers,lakes or springs and only then if not a lot of others are swimming there!.There is a spring here in north central Florida that I use to visit a lot as a teen!.I would scuba dive this spring to get items off the bottom such as old coins bottles rings just about anything you can think of!.A few of the holes were large enough that you can get into the caverns awesome stuff in these holes!.But the state owns in now and OMG there are 100s there every day now!.And yes I have seen many of these people peeing in the water!.With a mask on you can clearly see the crap coming out through their suits so I no longer go there now!.And no it's not just kids who do this its like everyone one!.So yes I agree with you,you are swimming in their crap!!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

My parents have this same mentality!.

There are chemicals in the water that are meant to keep the water clean and sanitary for swimming!. However myself, prefer not to use public swimming pools because of the obvious issue of kids peeing and pooping in the pool!.

I wouldn't worry too much about it, but you have every reason to be uncomfterble with it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Well they do use chlorine, which is pretty powerful!. I guess I would stick to pools that have adults only time!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

First, there is a LOT of water there to dilute any 'bugs'!.

Second, that is why there is CHLORINE in the water!. TO KILL those bugs!.

Don't drink the water and you'll be fine!. Where else would you swim!? At the beach!? That water can and often can contain RAW sewage and other organisms far worse than you can find at a swimming pool!.

A private pool!? Same issues as you don't know what buggies are floating around!.!.!.!.

A pond!? Ewwwwww!.!.!.!.or a river!? Double - EWWWWWW!.

You are OCD!. You should consult a psychologist for treatment!.

Yes!. You are thinking too much!. The Chlorine kills buggies!. Many pools require at least a ceremonial shower before getting in, and you can always take a shower in "CLEAN" water and your favorite soap afterwards!.

And there are chemicals to deal with urine as well!. JUST DON'T DRINK THE WATER!
