  • Can chlorine permanently damage eyes?

    Generally no. I have never seen permanent damage nor have ever experienced permanent damage after 60 years of competitive swimming. I swim 500 to 600 miles a year with no damage . READ MORE

  • Can you get an eye infection from swimming?

    I have several questions about your infection. Where, how diagnosed, in the eyelid or cornea, etc.? Most people that say they have an eye infection really don’t. Just some type of surface inflammation. And the few that do, it is usually in the eyelid, not the eyeball. I am a competitive swimmer, 600 miles per year, for 50 years and I have never gotten an eye infection. In a properly maintained pool, while it is possible to get an eye infection, it is statistically extremely, EXTREMely unlikely. “Dilution is the solution to pollution.” READ MORE
