Doesn't the wee just flow out into the pool?

It's the poop that is the issue. The garment keeps it locked in -- for a while.
The relatively small amount of urine that the toddler will produce is not really a health issue -- all pee really consists of is excess nitrates and salts. Not really dangerous. Poop on the other hand is organic waste that is potentially infectious. That's why it's top priority to keep out of the pool.

Yes, the wee does go into the pool.
The swim diaper stops large particles of poop from going into the pool.
However, if you don't get the baby out of the pool as soon as you notice a #2 in the diaper then it gets broken up with the water and smaller particles can escape the diaper and go into the pool.
It is not noticeable to others but I typically take my kids out if I see a toddler being removed with a poopie swim diaper. I don't like the idea of anyone swimming with open eyes under the water in the vicinity of the poopie culprit.
Gross I know, but true.

I think most of it gets absorbed into the nappy first, but some would definitely get into the pool. But really, I think baby wee is the least of our problems in a public pool..

Well, This is a question that is posted on here quite often, I have 5 children and none of them have ever used a swim nappy. I am sure that as they pee it must just float into the pool which is what the chlorine is for! As for poops, none of them have ever done it whilst swimming, maybe it is just luck, or maybe it is just that they are busy and not likely to poop, or maybe it is that I am able to recognise if they are about to, but I don't use swim nappies, and have never been pulled up for it, another expense saved.....

I think the idea is that you put the swim nappy over a regular nappy.
This creates a waterproof outer layer that prevents the nappy soaking up the entire pool.

Some places (pools) require the use of tight fitting plastic pants over the disposable ones

Mostly Poop protectors really. Anytime you are in a pool with toddlers the chances of pee is escalated 10 fold!

yes pee flows freely in the pool with those...there is absolutely no absorbancy in them. But they do keep the poo in.

they don't absorb so really they just hold bowel movements

Yes, they are not meant to hold urine, only poo.
