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?

    Taking a warm shower or lounging in a hot tub filled with chlorinated water, one inhales chloroform (a carcinogen). This is why I outfitted my bathroom with a SCUBA tank, so I don’t have to breath chloroform gas. That and other gasses generated in the bathroom. My herbalist was horrified that I swim in a chlorinated pool and felt that my swimming in a pool regularly would cause "excessive free radical formation, which accelerates aging, increases vulnerability to genetic mutation and cancer development, hinders cholesterol metabolism, and promotes hardening of arteries. My herbalist said the same thing, which is why I replaced the sand in my filter with Green Tea and I now fill my chlorinator with Ginkgo.
