Re: Announced just now:Algae caused green diving 🏅

We had a backyard pool where I grew up.  This would occasionally happen in it.  I don't remember it being the bright green color of the olympic pool though.

 

I remember my parents throwing (can't remember how many) bottles of bleach in the pool.  That would take care of it.  Then we couldn't go in for a couple days.

 

It's hard to imagine this happening in such a setting as the Olympics. 

 

I would think they would be closely monitoring that water.

It's happening in America, also, and several dogs have died from eating the algae.

 

I read an article this morning that said it's happening because oceans and other bodies of water are heating up  I can try to find the article again if anyone is interested.

Now your blaming algae in pools on global warming.  What next

I heard on the news tonight it is because of the rising heat. The pool next to it looks fine...
