Well shoot, I thought it was just overindulgence of adult beverages while swimming that increased the propensity for peeing in the pool. Gotta love science!

My childhood was a lie:
Partial immersion of only the limbs does not cause increased urination. Thus, the hand in warm water trick (immersing the hand of a sleeping person in water to make him/her urinate) has no support from the mechanism of immersion diuresis. On the other hand, sitting up to the neck in a pool for a few hours clearly increases the excretion of water, salts, and urea.
