I am having trouble with an asthmatic reaction to chlorine in the pool when I swim laps. Any advice on how to manage this type of reaction? I want to keep swimming.

there are some daily preventatives, that work differently for different people; I'm now taking singulair with modest success; watch out for the daily preventative medicines where you breathe a powder, as a side-effect you might lose your voice - as I did - completely hoarse and scratchy so that I had to whisper when I talked. Luckily my voice came back when I stopped but for some people it doesn't. My doctor never mentioned this possible side effect so be sure and read all your labels!
