I just heard a radio report that said that chlorinated pools are linked to asthma. I sort of thought the chlorine was no good when it rapidly deteriorated my bathing suits.
Any ideas on how you can lessen the problems associated with chlorine?

I dont know about the chlorine link with asthma, but I definately know that swimming will build up your lungs.
The chlorine on your suits will not go away no matter how much you try. I've been trying all my life to keep the life expentancy of my suits up, but no matter how good you rinse them out after every practice they always seem to die within months (i swim everyday).
Every pool has a chlorine/PH they have to maintain in the pool. To high is unsafe and we have to close if it gets that high, too low it does no good killing the stuff that gets in the pool and that can be unsafe also. But if kept in that area of "safe" it wont hurt you. Just dry you out pretty well.
To me it's a good zit killer.
