Some point I'd like a pool, but I'd go with saltwater rather than a chlorine system anyway. |
tell me about it. I was a competitive swimmer when I was younger.
Our summer training pool was an outdoor one, sometimes it was a bit festy. Worst of all was really hot days when everyone and their dog was in the pool and they all were lathered up in sunscreen. Got so bad that you couldn't see more than a couple of metres in front from the sunscreen in the water.
But the worst was our morning pool which was about 4-6 degrees above normal temp. An absolute incubator for bugs, was disgusting.
Probably explains my mega immune system though, exposure to lots of bugs when I was younger, theres not much that can beat it now.....
