I live in the Southern California area and love to swim. I had a bad knee injury in college and swimming is one of the ways I stay in shape. However, over the last few months, my body has started having an adverse reaction to chlorine. My doctor recommends I find a salt-water pool to work out in. Does anyone know of any clubs in So Cal that have salt-water or saline pools? I am in the Glendora/San Dimas/La Verne area.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Avoiding chlorine does not necessarily mean you need salt water. There are other chemicals used in some pools (bromine?) and an electronic purification system which may work for you and be more accessible.

I went to highschool in claremont. There was a school in our leage called CAMS (california acadamy of math and science) that had a 25Y x 25M bromine pool. If I remember right it was a bit of drive. You could at least check it out, try it once and see if the bromine suits you better.

My own memory from playing polo there is the bromine sucked!

Can you afford your own therapy style swim pool. Therapy pools 4 less has one that is cheap. I got one for my disabled wife to bounce in, they do not cost a fortune like the others. I only swim in ozonated pools.

Check out the 24 Hour Fitness gyms in your area. They have salt water pools. Not sure if you are a member, but it's a start.
