More scared of chems in the pool than sharks in the ocean?

The Bite:
You probably should be. Chlorine is a predator that's damaging to your body as well as the environment. Before your next pool party, switch to non-chlorine pool cleaners (some of which make your pool clean enough for fish).
The Benefits: 
  • Safer swimming. When mixed with organic matter, chlorine can form cancer-causing byproducts.
  • Safer environment. Chlorine levels in pools are 200-400 times higher than what's deemed safe for the environment, plus mercury is a by-product of chlorine production.
  • No ghastly chlorine smell.
  • Better hair days. Non-chlorine cleaners won't turn your hair green.
Personally Speaking: 
While we don't wanna end up sleeping with the fishes, we wouldn't mind swimming with them.
Wanna Try:

You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty. It is curious that physical courage should be so common in the world and moral courage so rare.
