24 swimming pools in Shenzhen failed a hygiene test undertaken by the city's public health bureau. Surprisingly, 10 of the failed pools were in luxury hotels like the Ritz Carlton and the Sheraton.
The quality testing measured pool water from 224 swimming pools according to the indexes of chlorine residual, cloudiness, urine levels, pH level, bacteria levels, and coliform bacteria levels.
As for the stunning results, Ritz Carleton, Sheraton, and Western Inn all failed the tests in regard to total bacteria levels. The Sheraton Dameisha Resort and the Shekou Nanhai Hilton failed with regards to urine and chlorine levels.
In total, 89.1% of the samples passed testing, but 10.9% of the rest failed.

Proof that the westerners who mostly inhabit these places tend to be more dirty than locals.

It's too bad all this beauty is ruined by people brought up to be really selfish individuals. With a, "I won't be here tomorrow, I might as well pee in it," attitude.

Urine in swimming pools. Slow news day? Up next: Sweat found in 90% of all gyms! Traces of human feces in public transport seats of all major transport companies!! The ongoing hair littering epidemic in barber shops shows no signs of slowing down... And finally, accounts from victims of body odor terrorism in elevators. Warning: If you have a poor tolerance for farting, this story may be too powerful for your senses...

It was all fun and games until I read the Nanhai Hilton failed. I swam in that apparently dirty yellow urine pit! Unclean, unclean I say!
