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,

Maybe it's my pool but I have had two health problems: a runny nose after swimming and dry itchy skin. I solved them by using a nose clip and skin cream (after showering).
