To pee or not to pee in the pool?

HOUSTON According to a new hygienic survey by the water quality and health council, one in five people admit to urinating in a pool. At the same time, eight in 10 are convinced their fellow swimmers are guilty of the act.

The survey also found about a third of swimmers jump in without showering first. The Centers for Disease Control says lack of hygienic behavior makes it harder for chlorine to do its job.
