I loved swimming but can no longer go in the pools because of the chlorine or swim in the sea because it aggrivates my virginal atrophy. We have started looking at holidays & as my grandchildren are such water babies a lot of things revolve around water.

I have been desperately looking into swim wear that keeps the chlorine out but up to now with no success apart from a wet suit LOL but i was hoping to get some help from fellow suffers .

Also this makes me sad as it is such a good way for me to lose weight , which i've been adviced to do by my Gp & the pools in my area less chlorine in are just bean shaped so no good for swimming ,
