No harm done other than possibly blonde arm hair!
Most public pools and spas are required to keep a level of 10PPM.
I've never heard of a water dump for a fecal contamination and I've been at many a pool with that happening. They super chlorinate for 12-24 hours and continue life as normal. It happened at the country club I used to work at years ago in Portland a couple times a year and it happened at the city swimming pool during swimming lessons this summer.I guess maybe a dump would be in order if it was not more solid in form and could easily be cleaned out of the pool... as if the child maybe was sick and it was more runny in nature.
Question is, is it bad for my arm to have gone elbow-deep into that water? It feels like it's a bit warm, but that could be mental for all I know. I washed it with soap and water...

As a parent... I have a couple thoughts... especially after the swim lesson experience this summer. A child who has an accident in swim lessons should be required to wear swim diapers to the pool after having an accident. No exception!!!! I don't care if the child is potty trained or not.Diapers should never be allowed in a pool. Swim diapers are better than nothing, BUT swim diapersonly job is to not let poop into a pool, they let the pee in just fine. That is why you can not put your child in one and then drive to the pool, you must do it at the pool. That is why they are better than nothing, but not great.My youngest will be just over 3 next summer. He will be potty trained. He will take swimming lessons. More likely than not, he will still wear a swim diaper, JIC as he will be newly potty trained and I will not be with him every second to make sure he knows to get out and use the bathroom. Kids get distracted easily and forget to use the bathroom. Honestly though, I think the 8-10 yr old boys probably pee more in pools than your average under 5 crowd. :-?
