Indoor Pools Make Me Sick?



I recently joined a club that has an indoor pool and the first time I used the pool, I woke up with a horrible cough that night. I didnt think it was the pool but I must have been coming down with something. A week later the cough was better and I went back to the pool, same thing later that night I was hacking my head off. I thought maybe I swam too soon after a chest cold. Now, the cough had been cleared up for 2 weeks and I went back, and it happened again, so now I know it's the pool.

What causes this and how can I prevent it since I am paid up for a year?


Answers:


1Chlorine is the cause, most public pools over use this and it is to strong, although even in week concentration it can cause breathing problems if you are allergic to it. Does liquid bleach do the same to you? There are alternatives that may be used but I doubt the health club will change for you. All you can do is complain and hope they will accommodate or refund. Good luck!
