I always make sure that I wear flip flops when I'm in the pool so I don't get athletes foot or toe nail fungus. I was in a pharmacy today and was talking to the pharmacist about the topic because the pharmacy is across the street of the pool of the gym I go to. She mentioned that she goes to that gym too but the water in that pool isn't too clean and she wouldn't swim there because she's afraid to catch something like fungus. I mentioned that I thought that chlorine kills everything but she denied that:confused:
Is it really possible to get fungus while you're swimming?

I have found that the most effective way to manage fungus is to keep the skin clean healthy and dry when you're not in the pool.
Clean socks, clean breathable shoes with toe wiggle room, and carefully drying between the toes each time they get wet.
I like using the alcohol-based hand-sanitizer gel to help dry the skin between the toes.
