Nope, it's merely an urban legend. There is no such chemical that you can add to your pool that will reveal the presence of urine in the water.

That story kept us in check as young uns in the 70s, and it is still going strong.
Yeah, but you can use OTO directly into the water and tell them that if it turns yellow, somebody pee'd. Add to the effect by putting some drops in a cup of plain bottled water (not tap water as it contains chloramines) first to show them that it will not turn yellow because there's no pee in it. THEN drop it in the pool, but make sure you have a chlorine residual too!
Then there's the one about...
Here's one: if the water is clear, why is it that we cannot see clearly underwater with our eyes opened?

I know you all knew the above, but just in case you want to prove to someone else (you know, the internet is never wrong!!)
I once knew a fellow who put some food coloring in a plastic squirt bottle, and was fond of easing up behind people in his pool and releasing a 'cloud' between their legs. The results were usually pretty comical, as everyone pointed and laughed. I seem to recall one guy getting pretty upset over it once, so I guess you have to know your victims... like any practical joke, there is always a risk of someone turning 'hole' on you.![]()

C'mon folks, what's the big deal with a little pee in your pool? It's sanitary, can't transmit AIDS or other blood-borne illnesses, and can be used in a pinch to help with jellyfish stings!
So relax, it would take hundreds of kids peeing all at once into your pool for it to affect anyone's lives. I pee in my pool all the time! Let 'er rip!!
