Question from JIm

I am an engineer so I end up being pretty facts oriented. I have read enough literature that I am concerned about chlorine in my shower and drinking water.

However, as I think about that, I wonder about swimming pools and swimnmers? I swam through high school and into college and only ended up with blond hair and no acne. But I swam a lot – does anyone have any information about studies or research on Olympic swimmers and their health? I should think that literally hours of exposure to swimming pool chlorinated water daily for 20+ years should have serious health consequences? For example, how are Mark Spitz and Gary Hall doing, health-wise?

Debra’s Answer

Interesting question. I have no such data, but that would be a good study. Anyone have any info on this?
