Eczema and Swimming?


Dear Parents,

I have long had a theory that chlorinated water actually helps rashes and skin irritations rather than make them worse. I recently came across this article that seems to support this theory, and wanted to share it with you in case your child suffers from eczema and you are hesitant to allow them to swim:

Perhaps we have even more to learn about the many benefits of swim lessons!

Best "Fishes",

Irene
