protect the acid mantle of your skin with cocoa butter or shea butter when you are not in the pool!. the chlorine is making your skin porous and not as good a shield as it used to be!. drink vitamin C often!. it builds collagen!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
It could just be the chlorine is lightening your skin colour, sometimes if there is too much chlorine in a pool you can get a rash from it but considering it isn't anywhere else I doubt it's a rash from it, also considering that you swim 2 hours a day 5 days a week in chlorinated water it would have come up more if it were an allergyWww@Answer-Health@Com
