  1. You can chum up to the person who cares for the pool.  Tell him when you had the condition and when the last time the pool was super chlorinated.  They all have to maintain a log of testing and additions of chemicals.

    You may find your pool is not sanitized with chlorine.  You may find chloramines contribute to your skin condition and only happens on Thursday and Friday's.  

    You may find they let the pH drift a bit to balance the water.  Higher pH and alkalinity can cause itchy skin.

    You're welcome!!


  2. Most probably is the Chlorine in the water it happens to me mildly too, well afterwards you could shower with one of those special shower gels that neutralises your skins PH balance so it stops the irratation.

    Other than that I don't really know sorry!

  3. you could ask the pool maintaner to try a differnt chemicle in the pool

    or you could switch jobs
