Dumb advertisement near me had a sign up about their “sparkling pool” which got me thinking…what would it be like to swim in carbonation?

I think you would float better? Probably? Would it hurt more? Would all the released carbon dioxide in the vicinity of the pool be a problem?

    It’s correct. The feeling of running out of air comes from the buildup of CO2, not the lack of 02.

    Nitrogen and carbon monoxide just take the place of oxygen in your blood, so you drift off to sleep and never wake up.
