Re: Chlorine

Probably a heat exchange system, that captures the outgoing air's heat and warms the incoming air would be better than just recirculating the old air with a couple ceiling fans. Can't blame the pool operators for trying to save money keeping in the warmth in the cooler climates, but there are better ways than just recirculating the same air over and over.

Rowing & sculling sounds like a good alternative. Here at Humboldt Bay, the water's too cold for swimming without a wet suit, but lots of kayakers and sculling crews all the time, and surfers and abalone freedivers just outside the bay. DDeden

In another article it mentions that the air quality may be much worse at the surface of the water, so measurements in the pool building may not reflect what swimmers are actually breathing.
