I've been swimming regularly for about 17 years.
About ten years ago I suddenly was allergic to all kinds of Eau de Toilettes/Aftershaves and Deodorants. It happened over night.
Then about 5 years ago I started to need a nose clip or else I would have a runny nose for the next few days.
Recently after each workout my armpits are red and burn:badday:
I don't know if it's a reaction or result from the chlorine. Anyone else know these problems?
I'm having an issue lately with my main pool. We are the first swimmers in the pool so the air has been sitting still for 8 hours when we get in there. The pool has bad ventilation as it is, yet alone when it's been sitting air. They have giant fans (40 feet wide) in there but they don't do anything. Our coach opens the doors to the back hall way as soon as he arrives but it only helps so much and some guards don't like it and will make him shut them. Lately, if I get moving fast, I find I can't breathe. Then panic sets in and I start gasping for air more and hyperventilation isn't far away. I call it panic swimming and it's been rough. Also, the water looks bad lately. We get in and you can't see more than 2 lines ahead of you (we're swimming in a 50mx25 y pool so we have lines going both ways). I think the water quality might be getting off at night. I think I'm going to have to say something soon.
