"You can't ignore a turd in the swimming pool."

I like that.

I am chuffed with myself for thinking it up. So much so, that I had a bit of a google, as is my wont, to see if anyone else has writted it.

Well, if they have, they didn't tell google.

Whilst mooching, I found something I thought I'd like to share with the group (because I'm like that).

I know it's American, but I like it.

Healthy Swimming

From here: http://www.bobguskind.com/2008/07/31/directive-from-the-red-hook-pool-poop-is-bad/

'The Red Hook Pool has a reputation for being one of the tightest ships in the public pool system, despite the fact that we had a parental complaint of an alleged turd in the pool (specifically “some kind of excrement” from a teenager) a few weeks ago. The pool is so tightly supervised that more people are likely to complain about the rules than about things being awry with the pool. A special GL Correspondent sent us this photo discouraging poop, urine, dirt and germs in the pool. It specifically urges people not to use the pool if they have diarrhea. To repeat: Do not crap up the pool.'

It gets better.

I went to the sunset park pool less than 2 weeks on a tuesday around 5pm and there was an organized incident where about 30 teenage boys started diving and jumping into the pool all at the same time, over and over. The life guards couldn’t control them and two minutes later, police came out and shut down the pool–everyone had to leave. Thank goodness i happened to be in the middle of the pool with my two children when it started. When we came out, two of our towels were stolen. Now i have a bad taste in my mouth over sunset.

That would explain it.

Glad to see you're taking my nice new thread seriously.

I think this busted mythe has been mentioned before:

Pee indicator dye.

I remember when we (School Party) went to the baths, a lecture was given about the dye afffetcing our trunks (Swimming, not nasal) and there would be a stain around the groin region if we took a slash in the pool. No one wore white speedo's which is a good job in case the stain dyed yellow.

'qoute'?



From the story:

Big Man wrote:

It's not unusual to see what locals describe as creeping water rats floating past you on the water at sittingbourse and sheerness pools. It goes with the territory and as long as you keep your mouth closed and shower as soon as you get home it's no big problem.

Olympics Latest: In what has quickly become a symbol for the entire lead-up to the London games, a ‘Bombay trout’ was found in the Olympic pool today; the latest in a series of high-profile embarrassments for Lord Coe’s 2012 management team.

The turd, discovered this morning in the main swimming pool of the Olympic Park’s Aquatics Centre, was allowed to bob along in the waters for some time while staff disagreed over who’s responsibility it was to remove it.

“We’ve all here on short-term contracts,” said Lisa Thomas, 24, “and there’s no clause in there that covers me scooping out floaters.”

With the offending object finally removed, the focus of attention has since been on the culprit.

“It’s either a disgruntled staff member or a disgruntled member of the public who somehow got access,” said manager Geoff Burnside.

“One thing’s for sure; they’re disgruntled. No one’s been allowed to swim in here, so it’s not one of your kids having a Saturday morning accident in the local Lido. This was a planned, poolside squat-attack. We should be able to see who it was but we’re still waiting for G4S to install the security cameras.”

“Coe’s ordered the whole pool drained and refilled,” said one official who asked not to be named. “It’s a nightmare. I’d like to take the little (comment removed etc.) in for questioning myself. As it is, it will only have to face DNA testing. Then we’ll know for sure who is responsible for this mess.”

I've just found a belter.

Makes Gordon Brittas look sane.

WHAT ARE RECREATIONAL WATER ILLNESSES (RWIs)?
What is the first thing that pops into your head when you think about water safety?
Drowning? Slipping? Lightning? All good answers, and all are very important. But, did you
know that germs can contaminate swimming water? These germs cause RWIs that have
made many people sick.


Lightning?
