The most shocking sight I've ever seen regarding pools was this year at Bellapaix Abbey. It's an amazing place, and the first thing that instantly caught our attention when we first walked in was the beautiful view of Kyrenia...so we walk towards the balcony to marvel at the scenery. I look down and to my suprise there are 2 tourists sunbathing directly beneath the monastry.

It totally killed the atmosphere to say the least.

I don't see the point in having pools in Cyprus. What for? The people who do have them don't seem to use them much anyways. Plus everytime I've been to a swimming pool I've had to duck under the water every few minutes to aviod the hornets trying to attack me.

Oracle dear, I remember you posting a while back that you often went swimming to cool down. I bet my honeysuckle, you are one of those brits with a swimming pool. Then you would be a hypocrite.

Then I do agree with you that pools should be banned anywhere near the coast.(if not all over the island).

Just make sure it’s done in the Jordan River and that way you get to be called “HajiDeniz” !

I am a sea swimmer and would rather abstain than swim in a cocktail of uric acid, chlorine, dead skin cells and other unidentified organic matter ...

Chemicals in pools linked to miscarriages

CHEMICALS found in swimming pools cause a reaction that might increase the risk of miscarriages, researchers say today.

They believe that regular swimming could prove to be the "major" way in which pregnant women take in chemical by-products that have been associated with cancer, miscarriage, low birthweight, some birth defects and urinary tract infections.

Fortunately I am extremely unlikely to suffer a miscarriage so I shall continue to swim in mine…

Now you are being selective ..... chlorine reacts to form by-products with the organic matter and these can increase the risk of cancer.

Don't dip into this lethal mixture

Lots of things can give you cancer… If you avoided every ‘risk’ activity or product you would live a very boring and restricted life…

Also, aren’t there plenty of carcinogenic chemicals dumped into the sea every day?

Yes!

We're doomed!

This planet can cause cancer
