Before you castrate me in the comments I only did it because i was there with 4 little kids as the only adult and I didn’t want to drag all 4 wet kids out and into a gross public bathroom when we had just arrived and I made them all use the bathroom before we started playing but you know how kids are. Anyways she refused to do it even though she’s only 4, she kept saying that people are going to know and I was like JUST DO IT 🫣 I ended up having to take all 4 of them into the bathroom because she was too scared to pee in the pool but handling multiple wet kiddos in a setting like that is my least favorite thing and I think the chlorine and stuff just kills most of the germs and also if there’s lots of kids there’s bound to be pee in it from others anyways

My parents would tell me to do that as a kid 😂

Nah, that's gross.
Doesn't the pool have adult to child ratios?
4 kids to one adult is too many in a public pool.

I’m 50/50 with this as I only have two kids and it would stress me out getting in and out, but I would also expect my child to have gone for a wee if they needed one at the time the toilet. My daughter tho will sit on the potty if I ask her to and not go and then 15 mins later will need to go as she doesn’t quite understand yet until she NEEDS a wee (only just potty trained). But I do agree, with peeing in any pool is not hygienic or good to teach a child, yes it could have been just your child that did it, but imagine every child doing it. How may people/children drink that water, or just go to relax.
I do think that the should have some sort of rule on parent to child ratio, if not, outdoor toilets right next to the pool so you can keep any eye on everyone.

When I was a kid my parents said if I pee in the pool it will turns the water red around me lol

As above, this is one of the reasons why pools here have ratios. Four little kids to one adult in a pool is very unsafe, and also not practical, for the reason you have put. I would never encourage peeing in the pool.
