Does anyone know the locations of lap pools using systems other than- or in addition to chlorine to treat the water?
If you have worked out in one, what was it like?
If you have had experience setting one up, what are the pro's and con's?
I will be looking around myself and will let you know on this thread about any pools that I find.

Bromine can be a real problem for people with an allergy to it (see Susan's post). I spent a week at a symposium for aquatic therapy and the pool manager verified that they use bromine instead of chlorine. After the third day of being in the water frequently throughout the day, I broke out into a terrible rash with huge welts and hives, which required medical intervention. Indeed, it does not show up right away but can be a problem.
I have no problem whatsoever in a chlorinated pool - thank goodness:D
