I swim 5 days a week, and there is a parent/baby swimming session on Saturday. This past Saturday, while I was swimming, I saw a poop alike thingie flowing in the water, and I almost lost my breath after seeing it. It looked very disgusting. Could it be the one of the babies' poop? Do babies pee in the pool? Don't get me wrong - I love babies. YMCA pool requires a swimming cap for health reason; on the other hand, the water............

I notified the lifeguard, and he net it. Still had no clue what it was, but it definately had poop-alike color.

I'm a lifeguard, and I can tell you what happens at our pool. It could have been poop, and it may not have been. I'm also a swim instructor, and I can assure you, babies DO poop and pee in the pool. They're not potty trained; even the little kids can't always help it. All un-potty trained children at our pool are required to wear swim diapers, but I've seen plenty of cases where parents were either negligent, or just didn't care. But this is what's so great about chlorine!!! If someone (and many people pee in the pool - not just kids) pees in the pool, almost any bacteria will be dead within 5 seconds if the chlorine's at the right level (and if you're worried about chlorine level, there are plenty of state laws about this, and patrons are not allowed in the water if things aren't right). However, chlorine does not kill viruses; but remember, viruses cannot live outside human body fluids/tissue. A thicker amount of poop may take several minutes do completely clean out, but as long as you don't swallow anything, you're probably fine. So keep swimming!!!

Usually there's signs that say babies can only go in the pool if they are potty trained or wearing little swimmer's diapers, which allow babies to go to the bathroom without ruining the water. Obviously, this kid was not potty trained yet, and I don't think it was anything else. Take a nice shower, you poor thing!

easily, it really is amazingly frightening to allow you to recognize the reality, before each little thing, cry and do all of it right now, cry your eyes out because it got here about. volume 2, certain, they are going to snort in school, so snort with them. you do not have any selection. the better unhappy and offended you look the better they are going to make certain on to imagine up better jokes. thirdly, arm your self with humorous and smar comebacks. which will throw them off thoroughly and get it that you aren't any more depressed or down about it. so, heavily memorize or write down 20 good comebacks for at the same time as they attack you. you'll sense good because they gained't assume it. right it truly is a few and say them like you're the queen of the college. in the adventure that they arrive at you and attack you .... things you could say... hi there...i recognize! wasn't i the ****? properly, **** takes position you recognize. I didnt opt for to get the lavatory dirty so i **** contained in the pool truly, a lot a lot cleanser. what am i able to assert, i became having a shitty day. only have exciting with this, it got here about, it became shitty, its over, life is going on. look on the internet for the tale of Jack **** and memorize it and in the adventure that they wrestle to embarrase you, tell it to them and tell it to them quick, their yaws will drop to the floor . and once you're dont dont enable them reply only go away and say, Yep, i'm the ****!! good success! and dont enable them **** on you.

Upon thinking about it... how can they not? I don't have experience in this as I don't have kids... but if it's a diaper w/maybe a bottom thing... how can it not happen? I never thought of that. You'd think the parent would know and at least let someone know if it happened as that is certainly not sanitary in a public pool! ...

k, warm water and bodily release go hand in hand, im sure the babies are having a poopfest and one just got away. I swim in a very dirty pool every morning these days. Just dont think about it, and brush your teeth afterwards, you will be fine.

wow.this happened to me before and i defenitely was poop.everyone was forced to get out of the pool.if babies were swimming in it then it most likely was a baby becuase even if they had a diaper on it could still get out.

Have you ever seen Caddyshack? It was probably a Baby Ruth bar.

If the baby wasn't wearing a diaper then it's a possibility that he/she might have.

Probably a nice little turd, but don't worry. Chlorine kills e-coli and fecal coliforms really well!
