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?

What about a pool of Guinness that is nitrogenated?

    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
