Hairless and yellow-toothed from swimming?

My friend just emailed this to me. I am wondering if anyone knows the answer. I also wonder if I should take a dip in this pool to avoid shaving. My neice is swimming at X Private College this year. She and her teammates lost their eyebrows, the hair on their body and their teeth are yellow. All of my niece's suits were bleached out as well. I think the answer was that there was too much alkaline in the pool and that the pool test kit was faulty. I guess all facilities should have 2 kits for a check and balance. I've never seen the X pool but have heard it isn't much. Looking on the forum discussion board, I found a hair loss question that Jim had responded to a while back. Have either of you ever seen this before? What about the teeth discloration? We are all hoping that it is just a stain that can be removed and not damage to the tooth enamel. As for now she doesn't have to shave and is using eyebrow pencils.

    Do you know about the depilatory effects and what water qualities (pH? chlorine?) are most likely causing this? Umm, this has been discussed here before as well... :bolt: Help, losing body hair - U.S. Masters Swimming Discussion Forums
