Let's be honest... many of us have thought at one time or another, "I'm clean", or why bother, or its too cold, or any other excuse not to obey the big red sign reading "shower before entering pool". I never really thought twice about why this is actually important, now I know, thanks to the August 2008 issue of Today's Parent Canada...
"...when chlorine mixes with sweat and urine (you know its in there), a type of chloramine is released into the air that can aggravate - even cause - asthma, especially in kids under seven."
Now we know ;).
