Answer Question

1 Answer - Sort by: Date | Rating

    It is thought that chlorine can damage your health in various different ways, and the frequent use of swimming pools is even thought to trigger asthma in some people. The chlorine can really do serious damage to the hair and so the use of a swimming hat is definitely recommended.

    You may notice that after a while, the chlorine in the water can often cause your eyes to sting. Well, according to research the chlorine can also cause the lungs to sting and it can potentially cause a lot of damage. Apparently the lower the ceiling in and indoor swimming pool, the higher the risk of having problems due to the chlorine levels. However, this does not mean that you have to limit your use of swimming pools. It just means that you need to be careful, and always try and choose an indoor pool which has plenty of ventilation. Chlorine can help to stop diseases being spread, but it can also be potentially dangerous too.
