Impact of chlorine?

Help! I am slowly losing all my body hair; arms, underarms, eyebrows, etc. I have been swimming 4X3500 per week for several years. This seems to happen when I have big months - I did 60+ miles in December. Is there anything I can do to alleviate this, and what other effects can I expect?

    If genetic mutation occurs - I'd like to have bigger feet and hands. :D I have read/heard about the shower issue. I appreciate the science that has apparently proved this to be real. I found a study at the Journal of Epedemiology describing bladder cancer risks due to ingestion/exposure to chlorinated water. Unfortunately the full report is not available for free. It seems to me there are thousands of lifetime swimmers out there (here?) that could be surveyed. I'd just like to see data on actual impact, not just predicted. My home water supply is well - so no chlorine at my house.
