According to the survey, about 51 % of Americans reported using a swimming pool as a communal bathtub, in place of showering after exercise or yard work.

Surprisingly, less than that amount (about 40%) willingly admitted to urinating in the pool, which experts say reduces the amount of chlorine available to kill germs.

The survey also found that about 24% of Americans would jump into a swimming pool within an hour of having diarrhea, the survey showed.

Another 48% said they never shower before swimming. Almost all of the people surveyed did not know that pool chemistry can be affected by personal care items such as makeup and deodorant.

Because the showers are usually nastier than the fricking pool.

I thought only half of this world were blatant liars. Guess it's closer to 60%.

Fun fact: I don’t shower before I get into the beach water at Destin. I hope you and the sharks get my cooties.

I watched a group of women drinking at a pool bar in Mexico for 3 hours. No pics, they were fat Alabama gals from a Carnival cruise ship. Not one of them exited the pool the entire time and they were hammering the drinks. I’m pretty sure that pool was mostly piss by the end of the day.

>51% of Americans use swimming pools rarely or never, so I doubt either the wording or the veracity of the polling.

I haven't had a truly solid shite in about 4 years... so I guess I am guilty here.

I used to live in a downtown apartment. Pool parties every weekend. About 30-40 people in and around the pool drinking all day. Nobody ever left to go to the bathroom. I refuse to get into public pools. Absolutely disgusting.
