Recently, I've been dipping my toes in a few different pools. I'm amazed at how different the amount of chlorination is from facility to facility.
If you are not swimming because you are bothered by the chlorine, do try to visit a different pool.
You may be surprised to notice that not all pools are created equal.
In fact, some of the newer pools aren't even using chlorine anymore. That's a refreshing and much welcomed advancement!
I love the idea of swimming in a pool with no chlorine; however, I would be concerned about germs… Isn’t the purpose of chlorine to kill any bacteria or germs swimming around in the water?
Dorlee,
There are alternatives to chlorine. Ozone is one: http://swimming.about.com/od/allergyandasthma/a/cl_pool_problem_3.htm
Some pools use a salt water treatment option.
Thanks for bringing this up.
