I've been in pools that I'm 100% certain no one had peed in, and still got red eyes.

I'm certain because I was the only one who swam in it (a backyard pool) and I know I never did.



I think based on the article it's because of your sweat mingling with the chlorine.


Me: I'm allergic to cats.

Cat Owner: It's actually the cat saliva you're allergic to.

Me: facepalm


Same experience but in a hotel swimming pool with continuous recycling. After sitting next to the pool for an hour or more, with no one in the pool, I would dive in and find the chlorine too high and end up with eyes red.


Probably peed in by wildlife


Ambient pee if you will. Or background pee from the hose used to fill the pool.
