Is anyone here informed about this?
In a nutshell by local pool is disgusting, not only with bit and pieces in the pool (which I can put up with) but the water is heavy with chemicals, leaving me with rashes, blocked nose etc.
It is unpleasant to swim in, and many other swimmers say the same. The front of office staff won't engage with us about it, beyond saying that it needs to be warm for the old people and full of chlorine because there are so many kids in the pool.
Multiple (4 that I have tried) other pools in the area have what I call 'clean water', there is no funny tinge to the colour, it is clear, it feels refreshing and I don't feel like I have been rinsed in chemicals after using it, in fact I feel great.
All the pools are run by local councils (for those not in the UK this means they aren't a private gym, they are run by local governments) and vary in age but at least one of the clean ones is as old as my local.
What I'd like to be able to do is to go the management and say you are using 'x' to clean your pool and it is disgusting, horrible and unnecessary. You should use 'y'. If they complain about cost I can direct them to the other council run pools that manage it.
But I have no idea what 'x' and 'y' are and googling has left me none the wiser.
Help gratefully received.
