Swimming pool employees and swimmers have reported cases where they experience asthma attacks whenever they go near or swim in a pool. Rashes or skin irritation also occurs among swimmers. Studies and research (nhs.uk/news/2009/09September and swimming.about.com) were conducted because the number of reported cases was considered significant.

The gravity of the asthma attack was found to be dependent on the amount of chlorine that was applied since chlorine was the identified causal agent. Hold on! Don’t work yourself into frenzy instead you should read this article then be the one to decide if there really is a reason to worry.

Swimming pools are normally disinfected, cleaned, and sanitized using chlorine-based pool chemicals. What is not known by the general public is that chlorine-based pool chemicals can have a negative effect on one’s body. These negative side effects does not need you to be swimming in the pool to be able to experience them. Being anywhere near a chlorine-treated swimming pool can also have a similar effect, particularly if there is poor ventilation (for indoor pools).

Chlorine is thought to be the culprit but if one wants to be more specific it is actually chlorine that is combined with organic wastes. Toxic chlorine by-products are produced by the combination of chlorine and organic wastes. These include aldehydes, chloroform, chloramines, and nitrogen trichloride.

One can closely and continuously monitor the chlorine level in the pool or use an alternative swimming pool chemical like bromine tablets.

Now you know that if you or anyone you know begin to experience shortness of breath during swimming, getting out of the pool is the best choice. Try to find a spot where you can breathe in fresh air then go for a refreshing shower to cleanse your body of any chlorine by-product.
