There are molecules of human shit in every pool and they get into your mouth. The density is just not enough to feel the taste or become ill

That old guy swimming in front of you probably forgot to wipe or wash his ass so the density is getting close to detectable sometimes

As they say the dose makes the poison. See ya at the pool

the chlorine is a pretty important factor, at least in the not becoming ill department
