Participants self-reported how often they dropped the kids off at the pool , and the researchers organized them into four categories: constipation for those reporting one or two bowel movements per week; low-normal for three to six movements per week; high-normal for one to three movements per day; and diarrhea for four or more watery stools per day.
Is 'dropping the kids off at the pool' a real euphemism for pooping?

Yep. And if there's no water then it's "dropping off the kids at the skate park."

In the US, absolutely. It's probably one of the most common, followed by "taking the Browns to the Super Bowl."

I heard 'dropping the Cosby kids off at the pool' often enough in high school but times have changed. I want to say people are trying to be less racist or the show being less well known but I would bet it has more to do with Bill being behind bars.

I think the less racist angle is correct, as far as the joke has evolved.
I prefer "taking the Browns to the SuperBowl", but to each their own.

My poop schedule overlaps precisely with when I need extra breaks from work.

Yeah I saw a GE about some other GI symptoms within the last year and asked him about my BM schedule and he said basically 0-5 BMs a day is normal and not noteworthy

Unfortunately.
So is, "time to make some soft serve ice cream," or, it is between my brother and I. I'm sure it's super duper common and we aren't gross at all.

It's old, as in at least 20 years.
Once or twice a week?
Uh...
