Answer 9

pool water is not that bad for you unless you drank like a gallon- it maybe just from you panicking and almost drowning

i accidentally swallowed a BIG gulp of pool water from a water park. it made me feel dizzy too, I have swallowed pool water before, and sometimes I throw it up. i don't think it will hurt you that much, im still standing. lol

Answer 11

Nothing should happen. I'm on the swim team and drink gallons of disgusting ymca water and im fine.

Answer 12

Nothing will happen. It's just because you were under the water. It causes you to panic and then if you were under quite a bit then you would have felt a pressure. Maybe it just subsided until you got out. Honestly no harm can come from you drinking the water.
