Welcome to our _ool. Notice there is no P in it?

I never pee in the pool, but I know how to stop it from happening.
There's this parasitic catfish, called a candiru, in the Amazon that is attracted to blood and urine. It finds the source, and if it's human, burrows into their genitals, and sets its barbs so it can't be pulled out.
A couple of those in the water should do the trick.

Yes, I have peed in a pool, and no, I have no shame about it. You do realize the kind of impact that one cup of urine will have over a thousand, if not a million, gallons of water will be extremely minimal, especially if that water is chlorinated. Plus I'm hardly the first to do so and I'll hardly be the last.
The same people complaining about someone peeing in the pool should investigate what hot dogs are made of - and whether they want to be ingesting that out of free will or not... (yes, I do eat hot dogs, don't care what's in them either, but I'm also not one of those that complains about people peeing in the pool)

Forget pee, what about this?

What about the person who has to swim through that pee, though, right after you do it? Don't tell me you've never swam by a little kid and found a warm patch - you knew exactly what it was. If you're like me, you spent the next five minutes dry-heaving - but not in the pool.
Reminds me of the Simpsons episode "Lisa the Vegetarian" where she is thinking about where all our processed meat products come from, and she thinks about hot dogs:
Hot dog ingredients:
- Raccoon feet
- Rat tail
- Pigeon head
- Leather boot
some things in life aren't avoidable. There will always be pee in any pool.
If the pool serviceman (owner) keep the chemicals in place and at a safe/healthy level.. there isn't anything to worry about ... but the warm spots.

This. Its been a long time since I've been in a public pool, but I'd say I'd be more worried about the stray bandaid floating around then the warm spots.
Or, if people would just walk to the bathroom there wouldn't be anything to worry about. Although there is a certain allure to this "as long as the owner is doing his job" theory. Where else can people pee, but it's okay since the owner should be doing his job to make sure things are sanitary? Hotel beds? Airplane seats? Your friend's couch?
There are classes that maintenance guys at hotels can take to make sure that they're certified to run the pools. They should be testing the pool every few hours (and the hotel staff should be doing it if/when there are no maintenance workers), and should have a running log of the chlorine levels (which should be within a certain range). If I remember correctly, there can be a spot check on the chlorine levels, too. I think you can ask to see these logs, if you're really concerned.
Unfortunately, not all hotels do this. And, the ones who do sometimes fudge the numbers for the times when they forgot to take the readings. It's all really subjective.
LOL - no. While I am kind of a germaphobe, I just had a friend who managed a hotel for a while. I also know about how often they are required by law to wash those bedspreads. Hint: not often enough.
