I was on the swim team in high school, the top swimmers wouldn't get out of the water if they had to go to the bathroom they just pissed while they swam. I think about this a lot.
Of course a poorly treated pool will irritate your eyes, pH is an issue.
how are you not gonna get whatever sweat on you in the pool
Of course you can't keep all bodily fluids out of a pool, that's not the point. You will eventually have to change the water even if nobody pees in it. The point is to avoid needlessly dumping waste into the pool, because that means that they'll either have to change the water out sooner, or the water will be more contaminated with chloramines (and thus more irritating) until it's changed out at the next regular time.
Also, I'm not sure I agree that there is more sweat than pee in most pools. If you're doing heavy laps for an hour you'll sweat about a liter. All it takes is for a kid to relieve their bladder once to dump that much in. But that's beside the point. If you can easily avoid further contaminating the pool by walking to the urinals, then do so.

literally every child pisses in the pool
You know the classic "pool" smell? It doesn't get that until enough people piss in it.

The urine reacts with the chlorine in the water and creates an irritant that makes your eyes red.
no, chlorine just makes your eyes burn, it has nothing to do with piss.

This says any bodily fluid including sweat, how are you not gonna get whatever sweat on you in the pool? I doubt its a majority piss.
Also chlorine itself does just burn. Ive been in an overtreated pool before and it can even burn your skin if theres too much chlorine.
Is your goalpost on wheels?
