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?
I asked a similar question about a salty taste a few months ago, and one of the not-so-silly answers was "the most likely culprit is high levels of Total Dissolved Solids (TDS)" which doesn't mean anything to me, but probably does, or should, to pool operators.
