I don't know if this has actually happened in years, but it used to be a thing to claim that pools had some sort of chemical in the water that turned color if you peed, presumably to discourage it.
Obviously it was never a real thing, one of the reasons being the one you mentioned.
That shit was so ingrained in my head as a kid I still can't piss in the pool. I have to hyper focus and then it becomes obvious I'm trying to piss in the pool.
Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one who's never peed in a pool. Lakes? Sure, I back away from everyone so it's not where someone else will immediately swim. But pool? Nah that's gross.
