That is the reason why I never allowed my kids to visit the public swimming pool in the summer when they were little.
I make a point of making the kids go to the bathroom before jumping into a swimming pool, whether that want to or not. The last thing that I want is to feel warm water next to my leg when I'm in the pool with them.
If the chemicals are correct in the pool, you aren't going to catch anything from someone peeing. THe thought of it is gross though. We love the pool though and aren't going to stop going so we just don't think about it.
Seriously, who NEVER pees in the shower? I always have the urge as soon as I get in, even if I've just gone. I never smell anything, and I can't imagine it would do any harm at all. No I won't hold it all day but if I need to go, I pee. Tub absolutely not but shower yes.
I keep two urinals, with closing lids, close to my bed at night as I suffer from frequent urination. In the morning, I empty them into the toilet.
I also have a urinal next to my computer. There are times I get so rapt up in what I'm doing on the computer, I have no time to run to the bathroom, fearing I'll lose my train of thought in the interim.
And, yes, I pee in shower as well, when the occasion arises.
I'm even flirting with the idea of getting a Texas catheter, where you attach a condom like sac over the penis and it drains into a bag attached to your leg.
Gee! Wouldn't that be the luxury of all luxuries!
How many times, how many times, have I been in a long line at the grocery store and by the time I'm up to bat, I've almost peed my pants. With a Texas catheter, there I'd be at the cash register, peeing away while paying the cashier with a smirk on my face. The sounds of urine splashing inside the bag as I head to the parking lot.
Not the first time I've heard of these. Remember all those streetcar operators that had to stand and operate the trolleys? Standard equipment.

Great for guys.. NOT so for us gals though. We would have to use a Foley catheter with leg or belly bag. They have not designed an external catheter that works well with the female anatomy yet. the Holister model may work for women who are wheelchair bound but at the prices they charge for this medical aid you can buy a box of foley catheters and the catheter install trays. You can get these sterile units on the internet. But... Improperlly installed it can reallly make your life miserable with Urinary Tract Infections. These same caths can be used for men too. the male ones are a bit longer.
For me, the female urinal I have has worked well.
Now I have a female urinal hanging on my bedrrame, near my head so I can grab it easily. I also have a fracture bedpan too in case I got to do #2 (ugh) but I don't shower as I take baths. and no, as an adult I don't pee in my bath water.
I have read books about people making perilous treks across the deserts, and one particular book about some immigrants that crossed the desert in Arizona in summertime, where, out of 42, 30+ died.
And how did they survive without water? Need I give you the stomach-turning details?
In the Sahara, those dying of thirst, would find the urine of camels to be far more tasty and quenching to their thirst than their own.
And as for a little urination in a pool or in your bathtub? Oh please!

Well.... before I died, I would drink a great many things.
But as long as I'm living in the suburbs with a sink, toilette and bath tub....I plan to use each one for what it was specifically designed for.
As a man, I have been peeing in the shower since I was young enough to take a shower.
