Sea pollution ????

[Scunner]

I won't be going in anywhere  

[Jacqui Harvey]

We don't do beaches anyway, but pool is lovely and warm like a bath at the moment in the heatwave.

[Scunner]

Well in that case maybe we should give the sea a miss everywhere.

Well I wouldn't go that far, but certainly avoid those sea areas that were full of visible and significant contamination just a few weeks previously.

A friend saw a nice big poo in the sea in Koca Calis last week.

[Lotty]

At least it was a 'nice' one Linda! Lol  

[Jacqui Harvey]

Yes, but was it a turtle poo or a human poo.  Also, was it a posh poo from the Sensatori or a common one frm those terrible cruise ships.... Kayakebab, we don't want half a poo story.

Have you ever thought.......

1. Swimming pools are filled with water that is pumped up from the water table.
2. Houses empty their drains into cesspits in the ground which seep water slowly into .......
   .......... the water table !

Yes, I know swimming pool is treated.

But after a particularly nasty holiday ear infection I took my kids to the doctors and he said that he NEVER swims in a swimming pool. He only swims in the sea.

He maintained that no swimming pool cleaning regime could totally rid a pool totally of all the nasties and he saw loads of problems associated with swimming pool water. His view was that a skip full of nasties in the sea would cause less problems than an egg cup full of nasties in a pool.

Needless to say I still swim in our pool, cross the road, get on a dolmus, ride a bicycle and engage in other hazardous activities including swimming in the sea.

(Don’t forget that you shouldn’t be swimming in the sea in Calis any way ‘cos it’s contaminated with chromium from the old mine working)

[Jacqui Harvey]

Our pool is tested every day is very clean.   I would rather trust that that the sea. 
I think you Doctor was speaking about a communal pool. 

[Phil]

No – I was there when he said it. “Any pool, any type, anywhere, any country.”
Bit over the top I grant you.

What difference can it possibly make whether the pool is communal or private ?? The problems are the same (ie people).

Pools are tested every day for the correct pH value. They are not tested for any biological or bacterial contamination.
I try not think about what an in depth, laboratory test of any swimming pool water might reveal !

[Jacqui Harvey]

Because, in communical pools people get in with dirty feet and sweaty bodies.They do not shower first.   Also some kids and maybe some adults wee in communal pools.     
We have had our pool for 10 years now and if we are getting family to stay the pool guy always ask so he can adjust the amount of chemicals etc.,  We have never had any ill effects from the pool.  This year it is just the two of us, so we have no worries.     

Glad all our famous medal winning swimmers and divers have no problems with pools.  Obviously, they have not visited your Doctor.
