Since salt water is denser a swimmer should, theoretically, be able to swim faster if he can the generate propulsive force with his strokes, but the increased density of the water affects his body's resistive drag. Many strong pool swimmers find it more difficult to swim in open water, due to obvious factors of currents and waves. Any relative advantage or disadvantage for achieving a better workout, depends on the characteristics of the swimmer.


The Case for Non-Chlorine Pools

Europeans have been using Ozone (O3) to disinfect pools and spas for over 50 years and it is gaining in popularity in North America. When ozone gas is injected into water it kills bacteria and chlorine-resistant pathogenic parasites. Unfortunately, most pool circulators can’t stir the ozone completely through the pool in the few minutes before it breaks down and turns into oxygen (O2). Ozonation systems provide sparkling clear water and may be the wave of the future—once the technology can be adapted to existing pool filter designs.
