Interesting question!

My rule for swimming pools is if I can smell the chlorine before I even get into the water, I don't get into the water. A friend of mine uses one of those roaming pool cleaners, the kind you just leave on and it swims around the pool? And their water is FANtastic, no chlorine smell at ALL. :)

So if you want to swim in a highly chlorinated pool, best to do a detox bath sometime afterwards with plenty of salts. There are probably compounds that would help take out the chlorine... hmmm... here's one:

MrCooties,
I swim a minimum 2 times a week. I have learned a couple tricks. First in the morning I do a sesame oil massage. Then when I swim, the oil keeps a good amount of the chlorine out. I try to give the oil at least an hour to really absorb into my skin so I dont leave oil in the pool for others. Then after I swim I get in the sauna for 15 minutes as well to sweat what I can back out.
Hope this helps you!

Just wanted to say I swam in a chlorine water pool just before learning candida was my problem and was I SICK afterward.

Don't worry Hiya,
There is no problem for chlorinated water. The main purpose of chlorine in swimming pool water is to kill pathogens. Chlorinated water is best for drinking under controlled usage. The only problem that associated with chlorine pools is that it may contain some chemical compounds that are formed by the reaction of chlorine and organic matter like sweat, urine etc. But you can avoid that problem by following some maintenance tips.
