Has anyone found a link between daily swimming in a pool with chlorine and getting cystitis infection and or UTI?
I'm doing the Swim22 challenge for Diabetes UK, I've completed 18 miles since February 22, I'm 4 miles off my target of 22 miles, and I've just gone down with a
UTI , missed my swim today going to the GP, and antibiotics are making me feel a bit rough. Really hoping to be OK by Monday and do my daily 30 lengths next week.
I did a bit of googling and some people think that daily exposure to swimming pool water can sometimes cause UTI (urinary tract infection).
I have also found out that diabetics are more prone to these infections. I'm D2 diet controlled. Is anyone else doing lot of swimming and had a problem?
