Can Chlorine In The Swimming Pool Water Render The Mind Blurry And Blank ?

I been having swimming classes, and my memory and mind been very blurry and blank ever since i started. I been tracing back and the only cause i can think of may be the chlorine in the water. So does Chlorine effect the way u think? It all happened over night.

Hi there.

Yes ...constant exposure to chlorine could result in such symptoms.

But this might also be caused by fatigue.

You might try stopping your swimming classes for a while and see if the symptoms regress.

If yes....then they were due to chlorine.

Good luck
