Does snot come flying out of your nose as you swim?

    It might be a little gross to think about but when I'm swimming snot is accidently blown out of my nose. Then by the time I have swam the length, sometimes the snot that had been attached to my face is gone. I guess it is somewhere in the water.

    It is a little uncomfortable to think of this since I often accidently swallow some water.

    I'm assuming other people excrete disgusting fluids into swimming pool water. Does anyone else worry about germs in the water?

    lol true. What's more gross is the bits of plasters etc. floating around on the bottom of the pool as you swim..ewww. Why can't they pick them up every day, same plasters n stuff can be there for days..so gross. At least anything like snot gets filtered and dispersed and the chemicals in the water keep it clean enough.
