My wife is suffering pretty badly with severe itchiness and what turns into a rash from swimming at our local pool. (She does have pretty sensitive skin but this isnt normal) Has anyone dealt with this and with what means? She doesnt want to give up swimming but its getting out of hand. SHe has tried some medications but they make her too drowsy... Thanks.

    Hey Bulldog, She may also want to take a good cleansing shower before she gets into the pool. Chlorine disenfects by reacting/oxidizing - this includes anything on the skin or in (ie in her skin pores). In regards to what to use, there are several brands on the market , Ultra swim seems to be the most visable but I know there are other brands out there. Good luck. Jeff
