Team USA Olympic swimmers, including gold medalist Lilly King, have admitted to peeing in the pool. This revelation highlights a common practice among Olympic athletes, as reported by the Wall Street Journal. King stated, 'I've probably peed in every single pool I've swam in.' The Wall Street Journal reports that every athlete who takes a plunge into the Olympic pool will probably relieve themselves in there, too. This disclosure comes as many holiday goers prepare for their summer trips, raising questions about the acceptability of such behavior in public pools.
