    Would you swim in a big pool where dogs and diapered kids swim?

    I live on the Scottish East coast, I've swam in the sea all my life, never caught anything bad yet but I try not to swallow the water, should work the same in pools, the chlorine should kill off any bacteria that is in the pool, kids with diapers on shouldn't be in the pool, as for dogs, most of them love to swim and the chlorine should take care of any dangers.

    Oh ... these dogs LOVE LOVE LOVE to swim. Cute. Good answer. I feel a little bit better.

    Ha haha! Isn't that the truth!

    I don't like pools. I think chlorine in the water would be harmful to dogs. Dirty diapers and e-coli Yuck! High and dry for me!!

    No!  My pool would have a sign....


    POTTY TRAINED AND FURLESS ONLY!

    @busti...I guess you're right. lol

    There are special diapers for swimming, so that wouldn't bother me. As long as the dog leaves me alone, I don't care. One of my sister's dogs used to chase people in the pool. One couldn't care less you're there. My son's dog gently removes the pool sweep before he gets into the pool. Likes to swim alone.


    Itsmee, you ask some weird questions once in awhile. 

    itsmee

    I do?
    I do.
    I do!
    & you do too
    and they do!.
    There’s quite a bit I don’t know. It’s good to be around a group of people who know some things.

    We are both in good company here.

    Yup, used to, we called it, THE SEA...

    If you want to swim, swim.  Take a shower afterwards.  as far as lakes go, fish pee in that, too.

    Bob/PKB

    Oh, worse than pee...you ever see a fish in mid....well, you know what I mean.
