Chlorine / Asthma symptoms?

Hi, I swim 4 times per week and swim pretty hard. On Monday after my swim I experienced some Asthma symptoms for 2 days, and its continuing a bit today. I am wondering if it is because of the chlorine inhalation. The pool I swim in isn't in a big complex and is in a fairly tight indoor room. I talked to one of the lifeguards today and she told me that that the chlorine level is at 1 1/2, while the PH level is at 7.4 regularly. Does anyone have any experience with Asthma-like symptoms because of swimming? Thanks, Marc

    No, that's way off base. When there's an obvious cause, there's no reason to look for something imaginary, or to take some dangerous drugs, even on top of chemicals in the water. The people on either side of me also noticed the pool change as affecting their swimming. Yesterday someone found fresh *** in the pool, which was promptly evacuated. I asked a lifeguard how long the pool would be closed, and he said oh just until they added more chemicals.
