I guess I was among the deluded.

Maybe you are a better swimmer...

Saltwater Pools: Benefits, Risks, and More

A saltwater pool is an alternative to a traditional chlorine pool. Although you don’t add chlorine tablets to a saltwater pool, it does still contain chlorine. It just has a smaller amount that’s generated through the filter system.

A saltwater pool contains 10 times less salt than the ocean. There’s around 3,000 ppm (parts per million) salinity in a saltwater pool. By comparison, there’s 35,000 ppm in the ocean.

Some people find this type of pool less harsh on their hair, eyes, and skin than a chlorinated pool.
