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?

Thanks. Does anybody know if this is the future of pool maintenance and what is the the reasoning? I have a friend who keeps telling me that chlorine being a chemical, it's probably not a good thing to put my body in. He's kind of a chemical-free maniac and the chlorine hasn't killed me yet, eh?
It really is weird swimming in this. I expect it in the ocean (the handful of times I've been the ocean).
Does it make the water less/more dense? I can't remember which.
