Also, related, if you don’t already know this, swim diapers are just diapers that are not absorbent, so they hold in poop, but pee goes right through them. So while I would never allow my potty trained child to pee in a pool, babies do it all the time. I also watched a science show one time about how the “chlorine smell” of pools is not just from chlorine, but from the chemical reaction of chlorine with urine. Pretty gross to think about, but I’m not a germaphobe, so I don’t generally have a problem with public pools, but I know plenty of people who do. But, then again I’m more of a take a dip without getting my face or hair wet kind of swimmer when it comes to pools.

Wait, are we all pretending we as fully grown adults don't pee in pools?
