It is not common to catch AIDS from someone peeing in a swimming pool. The top contributer of AIDS transmissions are blood, sexual intercours, and Intravenous drug use (sharing dirty needles). Swimming Pools are usually have strong chemicals in them that will help kill germs.

No chance! For an HIV virus to survive in the chlorinated swimming pool and find its way to a cut and get into your bloodstream has the same chance as someone getting pregnant from swimming in the same pool. No chance at all!

Yes. However, if you swim in the ocean/ salt water the cut will sting but help heal it

Will chlorine affect a cut on your finger?

It might, depending on the amount of chlorine that is in the pool. Your cut will probally sting at first, but if the pool has low chlorine levels, you should be fine. But do not swim in the pool if the cut is deep and happened the day you are about to swim, or still bleeding. A paper cut is fine to swim with. It would be best to cover your cut with a bandaid that has a seal on all four sides, or wrap some medical tape around a bandaid if the sides are open. Be careful, and if your cut stings, and keeps stinging beyond the anitial shock, get out of the pool, and put a bandaid on it. Hope this helps!

What is the difference between the NCAA swimming a-cut and b-cut?

The difference between NCAA A- and B-cuts is the following. An A-cut guarantees the person a chance to swim at the NCAA Championships. If enough athletes hit the A-cut, the individuals that hit the B-cut are essentially out of luck. If there are spots left to the filled, those in the B-cut group are selected to compete.
