FAM: You’ve heard about all the horror stories in Brazil, like all the raw sewage on the beaches. Now, the dirty Brazil has gone indoors as the Olympic diving pool has suddenly turned green, and nobody there knows why.
Before the games began, Valerie Harwood, chair of the Department of Integrative Biology at the University of South Florida, issued a strong recommendation to Olympians and visitors alike in an interview with the Associated Press: “Don’t put your head under water.”
These Olympic divers don’t really have a choice. – Breaking911
Let’s see, blue and yellow make green…….
Don’t piss in the pool please.
Don’t pee like the ChiComs. They pee purple. Global Times is having a
seizure…..ohhh too soon Hillary? No word if the ChiComs are ‘trans’.

They let the muzzie hand wipers in the pool.
You know the hand just smears it around, leaving most behind.
Lovely.
Lizards have green pee.
I’d check that for gators before I’d be jumpin’ in. I’ve seen cleaner bayous in south LOOOziana!
It was envious of the water polo pool.
So nobody has a pool. Look it up.
I have always had a 100×100 or bigger pool
There are three causes of green pool water. The first is a lack of chlorine. Without chlorine the pool water will quickly start to grow algae and turn green. Water without chlorine, especially if it has an algae bloom, is unsafe to swim in, and can be a breeding ground for mosquitoes and other insects.
Just Sayin’ is right. When the pool at our Florida rental turned green the pool guy shocked it with chlorine. Problem solved.
Zika party for the ‘skeeters…it got darker green with each round…it was blue yesterday…blech.
I will note for the record I said to my family on day 1 of diving that the pool was really cloudy which didn’t bode well for its condition several days ago.
MJA – that picture makes me laugh every time I see it. Ewwww.
Third-World technology and maintenance. Who’s surprised?
Raw sewage warnings, polluted water, diseases everywhere, but these assholes lectured the world about globull warming during the opening ceremonies.
They don’t know why??? If they are that damn stupid then there is no telling what is in the water. I’m calling bullshit on this. They know, they are just too embarrassed to say.
So…the Obama Administration is running the Olympics.
I blame Al Gore.
FWIW, the diving pool is outdoors.

It’s a political statement supporting environmental awareness, or something.
MJA – I’ve saved that picture of the little girl eww and often use it as a comment on Facebook. Hilarious and just perfect for so many occasions.
The Bazillians must’ve bought into disinformation re chlorine. (DDT, vaccines, et al, were similarly vilified to great detrimental effect on public health.
Science is unforgiving toward stupidity.
Leprechauns! Pissed at being excluded from Olympics competition!
