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,

there's chlorine in drinking water, I wouldn't worry about the chlorine. Just stay out of the midday Phoenix sun to avoid burns.
I've been swimming and jogging...the jogging seems to be really dangerous by comparison, crazy drivers here.
