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?

    Ok the CO2 issue has been addressed by others.

    No one is talking about flotation/buoyancy and displacement. Aerated water make you less buoyant and you sink depending how much air is being injected into the water. So no you wont float better, but it would be a cool pool if its not over aerated.
