Air quality in the bubble at LC Nationals in Savannah
Former Member
First of all I would like to start this thread by saying this is the BEST ORGANIZED swim meet I have ever had the pleasure to compete in. Absolutely EVERYTHING was taken care of by Scott Rabalais and his group. Thanks for an awesome time!!
I do have something to complain about, and it was the air quality inside the bubble. I know many of my teammates at NC Masters are still suffering from the effects of the chlorine. I had a very difficult time breathing on Saturday and Sunday, especially after each of my events. I felt I could not take a deep breath. I have asked many of my teammates about this, and most of them had the same problem.
Did anyone experience something similar??
It was probably mid morning on Saturday when one of the guys I was sitting with in the area between the two pools remarked on the quality of the air and pointed out that a door was open on the far end of the building. On further observation I saw that the doors in all four corners of the building were open, and forthwith headed for the "main office" to report that fact. The guy in controll of such things was pointed out to me and when I caught up with him through the crowd of swimmers on deck it was apparent that he was having a time going from one door to the others to close them. At stake, apparently, was not only the quality of the air, but also the fact that closed doors were part of the architectual necessity to keep the ceiling bubble from collapsing.
We should also keep in mind that Scott Rabalais and his gang spent a couple of nights moving the entire Atlantic coast of Georgia just far enough west to keep Hurricane Charley from messing up our meet!
