In one swim?! Seriously!!
Even if you assume that as much as a quarter of the pool water consists of urine a swimmer would have to drink 6 litres of it to take in that much urine. That's the equivalent of 12 PET (plastic) bottles of soft drink.
No one can be that thirsty

Why is almost every one more concerned about Adolf Hitler's "one ball" fact

BTW, 'the ostrich's eyes is bigger than its brain'» What do you expect from a bird that in times of trouble hides its head and leaves its whole body exposed
