It is believed that if you often feel the need to urinate as soon as you get into the pool, it is a signal that something is wrong with the body: possibly kidney problems or bladder pressure. However, despite the fact that this is an obviously unhygienic act, many admit to giving in to their body’s basic needs.
There are no sharks or orcas in the Olympics to pose any threat to the athletes. On the other hand, the Olympic swimmers themselves brought this public taboo to light: there are unpleasant “things” in the water of the Paris Olympic pool.
The best swimmers in the world calmly admit that no matter what, they “all pee in the pool”. While many ignore this issue, others talk about it without any qualms.
“I’ve probably peed in every pool I’ve ever swum in,” admitted the famous American Lilly King, a three-time Olympic champion.
“It’s just the way it is,” the winner of multiple US swimming championships said with a laugh.
Zach Harting, who was part of the US national team and swam butterfly at the Tokyo Games three years ago, confirmed this unexpected statement.
The man recalled the first time he peed during the competition itself, at the high school championships in Alabama, when he realized he wouldn’t have time to run to the bathroom because he was wearing an extremely tight suit. It would take him more than a minute to take it off.
Many famous swimmers claim that it is not because of a “lack of behavior” that they urinate in pools.
“In major competitions, swimmers drink water until the last possible moment, wearing extremely tight suits designed to compress their bodies into the most hydrodynamic shape possible.
It’s a dangerous combination that has consequences,” the Wall Street Journal explained, thus justifying the controversial behavior of athletes.
Swimmers themselves follow a simple rule regarding this questionable habit.
“If you need to pee in the pool, under no circumstances should you do so if someone is standing behind you or swimming behind you. No one should ever swim in a warm zone,” commented Olympic freestyle medalist Cullen Jones.
