Of course I love swimming, I go swimming in a public pool every other weekend. But do you know that 20% of swimmers in any given public swimming pool pee secretely inside the pool as they swim? Well I read this article in some old magazine. I still do not know what to think but as for this weekend I will take up another activity and not swimming.

Everyone knows that It's the same the world over. Apparently (so someone told me in the pub years ago, so must be true) The stinging in your eyes and the strong smell is the pee reacting with the chlorine which they have to put in the water to kill all the germs.

I'd always understood swimming pools add a chemical to the water which changes colour around the pee, so shaming the pee-er!

May be untrue but if enough swimmers believe it, it'll work as a deterrent

I don't like swimming.I like bicycling.

I don't like swimming either and prefer drinking beer, but is also as relevant as a one legged chicken doing a tight rope walk across the Grand Canyon...

Note to Indizine - removing post counting from general forums seems to have done the trick

Swimming is good for your health specially for your lungs
