So how many here get out of the pool when they need to relieve themselves?

Urine is sterile...it's probably safer to drink than the pool water itself

i always get out of the pool.. always always always. if you don't you always should :-)

it's simply a matter of respecting those around you - imagine how mad i would make you if i walked up to you on the street and went on your leg. it's the same deal in a pool, even if it's cleaner than water or killed by the chemicals in the pool water.

my 2 cents anyway :-)

I always get out.  Absolutely, positively, never ever pee in the pool. What would your mom say?  And hey, even Ghandi made sure it was his own urine that he drank!

Never!  But I swim in the Y pool which houses lots of kids during the day.  I am sure that someone pees in the pool almost every day.  But I really don't want to think about it, thanks.

I think the indicators are people that have been swimming laps and laps and all of a sudden stop at the end of the pool looking bewildered and kids as mentioned above. I think it happens more than we think, yet there are probably worse things in the pool besides pee. I sometimes see bandaids that make me sick to my stomach because at least I can't see the pee.

No -- it is sterile to everyone. It's mostly ammonia and bacteria cannot survive in it.

It's still gross. Be a grownup!

so far a few of you have answered "yes"  To those who have answered that way, I hope the hell I'm never in a pool with you and if you're too lazy to get out of the pool, why are you bothering with a triathlon?

Urine is sterile, mostly water, and completely innocuous.

You wanna get up in arms about something, tell your poolmates to get out of the pool to blow the nose or spit, both of which are far more infectious; dangerous; or gross.

Having said that, to avoid getting the snot kicked and punched out of me, I'll admit I don't pee in the pool.  The ocean?  Well...

There have been times I've been tempted to pee in the pool, but I hold it until workout is done. 

Now open water is a whole different story.......

When racing my last minute swim warm up tends to always end with a pee break.  (Don't buy a used wetsuit from me. :-Þ

Doesn't the water turn bright yellow then everyone knows it was you?

Now the shower, that's a different story.
