  • swimming, anyone?

    Hi All!
    Has anyone tried swimming? Does the chlorine bother you?
    Were going on a vacation to Las Vegas in a few months, and I was just curious about the chlorine/other chemicals in the pools....

    Thank you!

      I still go swimming, I seem to do ok with it. I know some people say the chlorine bothers them and others say it doesn't, so I guess you'll have to test it out for yourself. I really hope it doesn't, for your sake, who wants to miss out on relaxing in the pool on vacation right?? Good luck ,and enjoy.

        I go swimmining at the YMCA which they do use chlorine. The chlorine itself don't seem to bother me. Hope it don't bother you.

          I also enjoy the pool in the summer. I usually only stay in for a short period, and when we go to Vegas in the summer, they have mister's over chairs, so you really don't get hot. Another thing I do, just sit by the pool with my legs in there. Have fun.

            I think I've posted this in three different threads, at various times, now. LOL. OK, trust me, I am an expert on this: Coat your entire crotch with petroleum jelly. Nothing can penetrate that stuff; we've started to nickname it the "Vagina Goggle." I'm serious, this really works.
            Je vous souhaite de la joie, de la bonne santée, et tout ce qu'il y a de bon dans la vie.
            Wishing you happiness and good health, and all the best out of life.

            Peace, Carolyn
