    Maybe needs some bottom inspectors?
    The chlorine in the pool will kill off all bacteria

      It also makes me itchy. Especially at the Swanley pool - I guess due to the feral kids there they added more.

        Not always.

        I use to get scabby skin after swimming and I wasn't and am not the only one. Oh and I don't have eczema.

          Was that due to too much chlorine?

            Of course lake swimming has its own issues. Rats pee.

            Which is fine in the lake. However be careful what you touch on the ground or has been in contact with the ground.

            After my triple IM swim 10% of the competitors got leptospirosis. All the drinks bottles and food were on the ground.

            After that they put tables out. Never had an issue since.

              Sure that wasn't the time you shat yourself? Blaming the rats is cheap Brillo.

                Totally different lake. That time was the lake next to the sewage plant and the power station.

                  No. Seriously it is due to the chemical reaction of urine with chlorine.

                      19% of adults admitted to having urinated in a swimming pool at least once.
                      And professional swimmers have confessed to being among the most regular offenders.

                      Not me.

                      Never use them - can't bear the places.

                      The walk from the changing room through that little pool of disinfectant into the warm, cloying, chlorine laced atmosphere always made me feel like I was on a one way trip to a gas chamber.

                      They don't use chlorine anymore, apparently, though the damage is done.
