Salt Water Pools Rock!!!

Chlorine has become my nemesis. Everything about it sucks my will to keep swimming. It tastes awful and it smells worse and no matter how hard I try I can smell and taste it for hours sometimes days after a swim. Blech!!!!

Tonight Preston went to the 24 Hour Fitness in Hillsboro to play basketball so I went there for my swim. Usually I go to the Beaverton location because it's closer to the train station.

Imagine my suprise when I got into the pool tonight and found no smell. Weird I thought, maybe they just don't use that much chlorine here. Once I started swimming I realized it was salt water and I was in heaven. My nose didn't get stuffed up, I wasn't gagging from the overpowering chemical scent and best of all I didn't have that gross chlorine taste in my mouth.

WOO HOO!!!! I had a great swim :)

Apparently all 24 Hour Fitness locations are supposed to be switching to the salt water although it seems at least my regular pool hasn't made the transition yet. In the meantime I will most definitely be switching pools.
