How Safe Are Indoor Pools For Your Health?
July 31st, 2009 - byIs swimming indoors hazardous to one’s lungs and breathing? That was the topic of a recent study in Quebec City. The concern is about chemicals associated with pools that have contributed to young swimmers breathing problems as compared to young soccer players.

Research does support that the benefits from swimming and exercise are more positive than the risks from being in indoor pools.
