It's been awhile since I was in here, so forgive me if this has been discussed.
This week I headed back indoors for lap swimming as my summer (outdoor) pool closed on Sunday. The pool I swim at during the winter is a Lifetime Fitness and when I got in I tasted salt. Another swimmer thought it meant the water was dirty. I keep forgetting to ask at the desk. When I get there I'm not awake and when I leave I'm in a bit of a fog, so I thought I'd ask here.
Anybody know if this is a new thing? I can't smell any chlorine which bothers me in a health related way (not to mention that I kind of like the smell of chlorine).
Is it safe? And also, what kind of effect will it have on my goggles, suit, cap, etc?
The pool at the health club my parents go to uses salt water filtration too (this is affiliated with a hospital so I am sure it meets any health requirements) and I am sure it works fine but it just takes some getting used to.
Luckly I only have to use the pool a few times a year when I visit over the holidays. I too prefer the smell of chlorine.
You should be fine there and atleast you have a facility to work out in that is indoors. Our 86 to 88 degree pool is getting too hot again (still outside for another 2 1/2 weeks in the deep south).
:cool:
