Research also determined that the total percentage of bacteria in a swimming pool can reach 92.3 percent while the rate of coli bacteria can be as high as 96.9 percent....

A toxicologist noted after taking a sample of the water that urine and fecal matter consisted of nearly 90% of the mix.

How can those percentages possibly be right? 96.9% of the liquid in the pool is not water but "coli" bacteria? And 90% of the liquid is piss and shit?

Someone somewhere is either making up ridiculous figures or completely misunderstanding something they read somewhere.

But the number of facilities is increasing as incomes rise and privately run gyms with pools proliferate. Some of these pools are massive. The “Dead Sea of China” is a saltwater swimming pool located in Daying county, Sichuan province, inspired by the original Dead Sea in the Middle East. The pool covers an area of 30,000 square meters and accommodate up to 10,000 visitors at once. Another swimming pool in the Yao Stink district is able to accommodate a staggering 230,000 swimmers at one time.

Maybe it's just the names.

I thought it was "Yak Stink" until I read it more closely.
