Here’s the answer to the question you’ve always WANTED to ask. Do Olympic swimmers pee in the pool? Carly Geehr is a former member of the U.S. national swimming team, and according to her, the answer is…YES. EVERY single elite swimmer pees in the pool.
They rarely do it during races, because they’re too focused. But during warm-ups and practice, they do it all the time. And they’ll do it before a race sometimes too, while they splash water on themselves standing on the pool deck. Now you know.
