Bad Research
I would love to see the actual data and research on this news that children who swim in outdoor chlorinated pools are put at a higher risk for developing asthma than those who swim in indoor pools.
First of all, let me clearly state that I have been involved in the sport of swimming with kids and myself spending hours a day next to or in chlorinated pools for close to 26 years and I can safely say I have had no children, nor myself, nor any coach or parent come to me stating that their child, themselves or me for that matter developed any kind of respiratory condition that they or their doctor would blame on swimming in chlorinated water. What this article does not mention is where were those outdoor pools and where did the individuals swimming in those outdoor pools live. Were they inner city or in highly populated areas? If that were the case maybe the children developed asthma from poor summer air quality that many cities in this country and all over the world have grown used to seeing. This article mentions nothing of the fact that maybe many of these kids had pre-existing respiratory conditions that were totally unrelated to chlorine. This is an example of how a piece of journalism can cause all sorts of issues. Here we are less than a month after the greatest swimming olympics this country has ever seen and here is an article that is going to scare people away from a sport that has no track record of this problem. The writer of this article, Michael Kahn, should really check their sources and the validity of the research they are referring to before reporting something so drastic as to suggest that kids who swim are at risk for developing asthma. Swimming actually should build up the bodies lung capacity and endurance not have a negative effect. We should all scrutinize research and reporting of this nature because what it amounts to is poor journalism on Mr. Michael Kahn's part and scaring people away from the greatest sport and recreational activity in the world.

Good post, thanks
this was a very entertaining read. i enjoyed it very much!
Wow!, it was a genuine quality blog post. Theoretically I'd like to write like that also - taking time and true effort to generate a good review... but what does one say... I keep putting it off and do not seem to achieve whatsoever. aline
Several very worthwhile points although i do believe your review and bias leaves a great deal to be desired. Then naturally, that’s just my estimation. Have a great day without doubt , a thought-provoking piece of writing. aline
