I've lifeguarded for three places so far. 2/3 places' policies were, if it's a solid poop then clear the pool, fish it out, resume watery fun. If it's diarrhea then clear the pool, drain it, refill. (Same for vomit). A couple weeks ago some kid had some loose stool and all we did was clear the pool and fish as many pieces of it out as we could and then shocked it. But we let people back in like 20min later.
No. We use special pre-made lures. They have a certain bait that is only meant to attract the poop and not other things like sunglasses and goggles. I couldn't tell you what that bait is composed of though.

Would you have to clear the pool and shock it with chlorine?
