What damage can be done to the lungs/respiratory system by high levels of Chlorine gas from swimming pools?

  • In the last several weeks, every time I'd do increased distance, I'd find myself unable to do any swim (or sometimes any) workout the next day. I would have a feeling of "coming down with something"--sometimes with cold/allergy symptoms. I wasn't at first making the connection--but when it happened (it seemed) every Monday (the day after my more extended workouts), I began getting suspicious. This week has been too busy for any kind of swimming (fortunately for me, I'm also a runner) but with the start of the new year, I plan to renew my membership at the local high school pool which is better maintained than the one I've been using.
