An ongoing battle in my Aquatic Center (AC) is that cleaning staff use cleaning agents to clean windows, all the metal fixtures (and there are lots of them), 3 shower stalls, and floors while people are swimming, at at prime time - lunch hour times from 12 to 2. Despite my pleas to clean after hours, they insist that the cleaning be done while we are swimming. I know many will get on my case about this, but I've been a die hard runner/swimmer, tennis player for 35 years. I value my health and breathing in cleaning chemicals just seems to contradict the point of exercising. My argument is that they wait until classes empty out before cleaning, yet feel no need to do the same in the AC. If I could find another AC, I would leave, but I don't feel this a battle I should have to fight in this milennium. Oh, and I'm a senior who suffers chronic sinus infections. Ironically, they don't enforce the shower rule, and that really skeeves me out.:bitching:
When my pool converted to salt water this Spring they dumped 15 huge bags of salt in the pool within 15 minutes while we were swimming. That night I came down with a vicious sinus infection. When I spoke to the manager, she replied, "salt is safe. You put it on your food." The world is run by idiots.
I find it surprising they would convert from chlorine to some other filtration system and not get the levels right before allowing swimmers back in the pool. Idiots indeed.
