There are most likely others who can answer this better than I, but since no one has responded yet, I will try.

When you say a salt water pool, I assume you mean a swimming pool that has a salt water chlorinator. This is not the same as swimming in the ocean. The salt concentration is about that of human tears. The water does not taste uncomfortably salty, as long as the system is running properly.

Basically the chlorinator takes the salt in the water, (Sodium Chloride) and uses the Chloride, (Chlorine) to sanitize the pool, then returns it back to Sodium Chloride. It does this on a continual basis.

Usually this water is much more friendly to your skin, etc, as the concentration is only high near the process itself...away from you....the actual pool water is better than when a person dumps a large amount of Chlorine in a pool as when they shock it, etc. I have seen pools where the Chlorine is over 10 ppm. In a salt water chlorinator pool it is no where near that.

I suggest you find a neighbor who takes good care of his salt water generator pool and ask if you can try swimming in it. I think you will find it a very pleasant experience....nothing like the ocean.
