There’s something nasty in the water at the Paris Olympics, and we are not talking about the reported sewage that popped due to rain in the area.
When it comes to peeing in the swimming pool, Olympic athletes have a lot to say, and we kind of wish they had kept their thoughts to themselves.
Several swimmers openly admitted that they’ve peed in the pool before competitions, and that the practice is extremely common and likely going to happen at the Paris Olympics.
Lilly King, a three-time Olympian for Team USA, said to the Wall Street Journal: “I’ve probably peed in every single pool I’ve swam in; that’s just how it goes.”
Zach Harting, who competed for the U.S. at the Tokyo Olympics, stated he peed in his swimming suit for the first time at the Alabama high school state championships.
Because of that moment, he said: “The world changed for me.

“Every time I went to a pool after that, I only considered myself to have swam in it if I peed in it.”
Katie Hoff – “It sounds gross to outsiders, but because there’s so much chlorine (in the pool), you don’t even think about it.”
Cullen Jones – “You never want to swim through a warm patch… you’re crop dusting everyone. That’s foul.”
“I always have to pee because I’m so hydrated,” American swimmer Jake Mitchell said.
United States Swimmers Hae Been Fueled At Paris Olympics By Australian Legend’s Trash Talking
Australia’s swimming team arrived at the Paris Olympics to sweep up as many gold medals as possible and keep the Americans off the podium.
Aussie all-time great Cate Campbell, an eight-time Olympic medalist who failed to qualify for the Paris Games, provided bulletin board material when she brought up Australia nearly doubling up the U.S. in gold medal count (13 to seven) following the 2023 World Swimming Championships.
“It is just so much sweeter beating America. There were a couple of nights, particularly the first night of competition, where we did not have to hear ‘Star-Spangled Banner’ ring out through the stadium, and I cannot tell you how happy that made me,” she told Australia’s Channel 9.
“When we’re right next to each other in the warm-up areas, the U.S. have this infernal cowbell they ring. And as someone leaves to go to the competition pool, they ring out, ‘USA, USA,’ and I have never wanted to punch someone more,” she said.
Lilly King made sure to fire back.
“It’s just funny to me how it gets on their nerves that much. That’s amusing,” American and five-time medalist Lilly King said. “Is it going to be worse if they beat us than somebody else? Yeah.”
The USA-Australia rivalry is proving to be everything that everyone expected at the Paris Olympics so far.
