Re: Indoor pools and spa

[Guest guest]

Hi Kay,

I think you forgot to send the link in your last post.

As for problems with indoor pools, as you know I use one 6 days a

week. While the pools room is well ventilated, the pools are highly

chlorinated, since this is a gym's equipment. Our pools are totally

drained and cleaned once a week. So this keeps mold, fungi, etc.

cleaned up too. The showers/change rooms are cleaned thoroughly 2X a

day. The place really is spotless.

If the pools room smells stuffy, or if I need more ventilated, I open

a door into the gym/weight room and I also open the outside 'exit'

door. This helps alot in keeping the air circulated.

Skin wise, I have learned to shower immediately after use, plus use a

Vitamin E enriched lotion. Once in awhile, for some wierd reason, I

can be at a store, or in my garden, or even in bed and I can smell

chlorine! Wierd because I always wash my swim suit, towels and

outerwear after using. When I smell the 'pool' for no reason, I back

off using it for a day - the smell goes away and I'm eager to get

back in.

I've done a bit of research on chlorine affecting the skin, but

haven't come up with it affecting anything else.
