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?
I have to imagine that would be significantly safer. It being thicker means easier to swim in and having a bunch of accumulated nitrogen would be way less problematic than accumulated co2
What I don’t know, however, is if you would gradually get drunk swimming in it somehow which would be more risky
Nitrogen can be very dangerous as you don’t feel the reduction in oxygen and just get sleepy until you pass out unlike CO2 which your body can sense
