Nothing much happens since the pool water contains a lot of Chlorine that kills most of the bacteria. But understand that many kids/people frequently "pee" inside the pool as they are too lazy to go to the bathroom. So unless you like all the dead bateria, the dead skin cells, the pee, the dirts coming off from swimming clothings, etc.. it is very cheap to drink pool water as compared to bottled water!!! If the pool does not have enough chlorine, then you may be sick as the bacteria would be alive!!

Most likely throw up, and maybe catch a disease.
And why are you drinking New York City pool water again?

I think you may be in for one big stomach ache. You may also have some intestinal tract problems- and diarrhea. So, watch how much pool water you take in.
The public pools are treated with chlorine and other chemicals, these may upset your stomach, too. Kind of makes you wonder why you bother to go swimming, doesn't it?

It sounds liek you do properly at staying greater wholesome and protecting the main suitable supplements on your device.

Ummm YUK!!! Try bringing a bottled water to the pool next time. E-coli--thats the bacteria found in poop and it killed a bunch of people at a water park in Georgia abou ten years ago. It also left some professional athelete's child with permanant kidney damage.

If you drink too much public pool water , I'm afraid you'll probably resort to more obnoxious questions on Yahoo Answers . I always wondered what caused that affliction ...

Some people have gotten E. coli--a bacterial infection--from public pool water.
Also, the chlorine and urine might upset your stomach even if you don't get an infection.
Try filling your tumbler with lemonade instead of NYC pool water, dude. :-D

You might make yourself sick, because public pool water has chlorine bleach in it. So be careful as to how much you drink, I wouldn't make it an everyday practice.

You'll probably throw up. And throw it up--it's super-bad for you. Little kiddies like to pee in it, it has all the skin cells and poo residue from everybody's body, and chemicals besides. Close your dang piehole! Fool.

stay away from warm water streams throughout the perimeter of the pool and let it flow over the scuppers!
