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?

The scary thing would be nitrogen dissolved in the water. Apparent nitrogen would do the same thing but it doesn’t cause the same starving for air result. You’d just pass out and drown. Although this is also just a guess.
