How do these hold up in chlorinated pools? I teach water aerobics several times a week.

Chlorine definitely decreases the life of these shorts, but that's the problem with chlorine! By rinsing them really well after use before washing them and air drying them, they will last longer.

I have used it in both a regularly chlorinated pool and a saline pool. Saline or salt water pools generate chlorine.

We placed three or four in ata time and monitored the chemistry often (twice a day) depending on pool loading. Sometimes we guessed wrong and over or under chlorinated, but on average it worked pretty well. It's a small amount of water, so chemistry will vary more and more quickly. Not difficult. Kids loved it

That is exactly what I did, and it works just fine. I spoke with an employee at the pool store and he said there should be some chlorine in the pool. The system will maintain levels. So far I have been quite happy with system. Make sure you buy a water conditioner, so calcium doesn't build up so fast on the salt cell.

We have had ours for a full summer around the pool with several parties, friends over, but not a lot of kids. They have held up well. Any spots came right up, but I haven't spilled anything like red juice on it either. I hope that helps.

Yes I recommend that product. I have used this product many times in a chlorine pool and it is very durable and is still good as new. I hope that helps.

Hi, We are on year 3 with this pool. It has held up well. We live in Fl. The pool pump salt chlorinator did stop working this year. My husband did some work to it bit it is not working. We will be looking to replace it this year. It runs on a 110.

Chlorine will degrade plastic over time causing it to fade and become brittle. However as long as you are fine with this then you can use these in a plastic pool. It's best to use a floating dispenser or a chorinator to dispense the chlorine into your pool water.

I have only used the Vivids purple/violet, but I have had no issues when I've been swimming in chlorinated pool water, or lake water

I just float chlorine in a floater and my pool stays clear all summer. I will shock sometimes in really hot weather if the pool gets cloudy. Love this product!

Yes, water would be fine. I am sure that my grandson has taken these in the pool.

I think if you are a strong, fast swimmer they may come loose..... This could be remedied by using goggles to secure them, or a swimming cap. I do a fast side stroke and I haven't had any problem with them coming off while swimming. I also do a slow- medium freestyle and I haven't had a problem with them. I love them....for the price, give them a try. You could always use them for relaxing pool time or work-outs...

I have used these for water fitness for years! They are AWESOME!! I buy the green ones, cut them into lengths of about 26 inches, tie a sturdy knot at the end - leaving a good amount of "tails". I try to dry them between classes, but after the talc washes off they stick. Putting more talc seems icky for the pool. I rinse, and towel dry, but after about 12 - 14 months of constant use 5-7 times a week, I need to toss them and make new ones. They get little black dots that have no surface but look weird. I thought it might be mold so I bleached them FOREVER and they were still there. But still, that is a lot of awesome arm and leg exercizing that I get for that year!

I'm in the gym about 6 days/week doing weights and 45 min. cardio sessions, and they've held up pretty well. I'm a heavy sweater and haven't had any problems. I've had them about a month.
