Swimming pools are disgusting places. Poo might not be such a problem, but most kids and a fair fraction of adults empty their bladders in them. I know because as a youngster I did it myself. Anyone who says they didn’t is a liar. Moreover, people add to the concoction through spitting and the blowing out of their snot. Aaargh!
