Not cola obviously, but bicarbonate or whatnot that they use to adjust the pH. Can that hurt you? What if you swallowed pool water while swimming? Got in in youir eyes/ears?

Pool chemicals can be extremely toxic in their native state. However, when they are added to swimming pools they are diluted to relatively safe concentrations. High enough to kill and prevent growth of microorganisms, but low enough so that we aren't going to suffer chemical poisoning if you decide to take a dip.
However, the chemicals are still considered irritants. Have you ever gone swimming and opened your eyes under water too many times to find that they burn at the end of the day? Or your skin feels dry and itchy after a swim? These symptoms are in part, the irritating effects of being exposed to chemicals.
I think if you swallowed too much pool water it may make you vomit, but I don't think that there is a high risk of poisoning involved.

i anticipate this is Muratec acid and if accomplished appropriate that's no longer risky. i might wait half-hour till now leaping it the pool after including it. make confident to no longer get any on you're your clothing.if it does get on you dont freak out basically wash it off. and definitly shop it away out of your chlorine pill or liquid chlorine because it could create a mustard gasoline..in spite of the undeniable fact that this is secure as quickly as the chlorine is interior the water.
