The Latin words for "urine" and "diver" are very similar.

Urinator (n.) One who dives under water in search of something, as for pearls; a diver.

I always wondered why people worried so much about peeing in pools.

You need " The Superior Persons Book of Words" three book set. By Peter Bowler. Not just the words, but the art is three thumbs up.

I told my Granddaughter that if she peed in the pool, the water would turn red.
Without hesitation, She informed me that was not true.

An experimentalist in the family! Learning by observation.

There's a famous old story about the lifeguard at a Catskills resort approaching a man poolside and telling him he'd have to leave the pool area. When the man questioned why, the lifeguard responded, "You were peeing in the pool and that's not allowed." The man replied, "Everyone pees in the pool at Grossinger's," to which the lifeguard responded, "Yes sir, that's true. But you were doing it from the diving board."

They closed in 1986. Honeywell Information Systems treated their employees and spouses to a 4 day 3 night 'treat' back around 1978. We still chuckle about how when our server brought my wife her roast beef dinner and she said 'it looks a bit dry'. He took his serving tongs and flipped it over on the plate. Problem solved.
