I found a place to swim in my city. It is surpisingly inexpensive with low traffic. It's a nice pool and a smoking deal money-wise. But I have some concerns about swimming for exercise
1. What if any, are the effects of long-term exposure to chlorine?
2. This is an outdoor pool. I would be sucking in oxygen while swimming, and the air in Phoenix can be pretty polluted at times. It makes me wonder if I am compounding the amount of pollution that my lungs take in.
3. I also wonder if I may be more prone to skin fungus, rash, etc.
I am not trying to be negative about this, but I would like some honest input on this.
Thanks,
Dave

Years ago I read of a study finding that competitive swimmers who spent many hours a day in the pool had, as a population, a slightly increased rate of asthma consequent on exposure to chemicals in the inch or so of air above the water. However, this is nothing for recreational swimmers who are not otherwise susceptible to worry about.
