Where can I find a public non chlorine swimming pool in Minnesota?
NOT ALL POOLS NEED CHLORINE. Salt Water pools are cleaner and do not harm the environment. I too am allergic to chlorine. It affects more than just my eyes. When I swim in pools with chlorine, I get upper respiratory and bladder infections. I too am having difficulty locating a non-chlorine public alternative. Because chlorine is cheaper than salt and most people aren't allergic to the levels used in public swimming pools; most municipalities choose that option. What I would recommend is that you call the local Parks & Recreations Office and ask them if there are any public salt water pools.
