Is It Safe For COPD People To Swim In Pools That Use Chlorine ?

A MyCOPDTeam Member asked a question 💭
Anaheim, CA

I was advised that it is not safe for people with COPD to swim in water that uses Chlorine as Chlorine inhalation is toxic. Does anyone else know of this?

@A MyCOPDTeam Member okay. I have to wear mine all the time so guess the pool is out for me.

I kind of trained myself last winter for the heat TN during the summer, I would sit next to the heater or stay u in the kitchen when the oven and top burners were on, after a while the heat didn't bother me that much, although on high humidity days i would wait and see if the humidity breaks and if not I will stay in,
