Does Olympic swimmer pee in a Swimming Pool?

It turned out very well. All Olympic swimmers do it. And not just one, twice.

"As a swimmer, you must accept the fact that you swim in the potty," said Carly Geehr, former member of the U.S. national swim team.

Answering questions at question and answer site Quora, Geehr said "nearly 100 percent" elite competitive swimmers pee in the pool on a regular basis, mostly because they could not resist to not waste water. "Adrenaline and tension damage your system," said Geehr, "and I know a lot of other swimmers who always have to pee right before the match, although previously been to the toilet."

It turned out that most swimmers are too tight in the game to pay attention to their bladder during the game. So they throw water upon heating or in the pause before the race began. "We usually wet themselves before going up to block, so wet-wet in the body and the pool deck gives you a chance. (I let you imagine yourself.)"

If you want a specific example, the gold medalist Ryan Lochte sheepishly acknowledged not like to pee in the pool.

When asked if he's wasting water in a radio interview August 3, winner of 11 Olympic gold medals, said, "Of course. There is something about the air-water into chlorine which makes you automatically throw away the water. Not at the game, but I do it during the warm . "
