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,

Why avoid the sunlight? I have never used a sunblocker, I have even heard that most people avoid the sun too much. I normally do not swim from between 11 and 2:30, when the sun is high but have no fear at other times. I just make sure that I get a gradual build up tan before I do longer swims in the daytime but I never between 11 and 2:30.
