Why aren't you swimming for cardio?

Pools are expensive to maintain in a place that's frozen over 6months out of the year. There is a river I get to swim in for a single month a year. Although the bulk of those days are spent just laying down on the boat and fishing.

I'd drown

Numerous studies have been conducted to determine what the long-term effects of chlorine exposure may be. This may be a concern of those who spend a lot of time at swimming pools, whether it’s swimming athletes, swimming coaches, lifeguards or those who swim for exercise.

There are a few serious health risks associated with long-term exposure to chlorine:

Lung problems: Being exposed to low levels of chlorine gas may lead to certain diseases of the lung, including bronchitis. In addition, asthma could develop as a result of this type of exposure. This is more of a concern for those who frequent indoor pools since these locations are more likely to have a higher density of chlorine in the air.
Tooth corrosion: Long-term exposure to low levels of chlorine gas may also lead to tooth corrosion. Like lung diseases, this is also more of a concern at indoor pools.
Cancer: Studies have found that those who often swim in chlorinated pools may have an increased risk for cancer. This is based on the fact that these people experienced a rise in blood markers associated with cancer.

this, theres also concern with other halogens that are added to pool water (bromine being one I think)

swimming probably better than doing nothing, hard to say what the overall affect on testosterone would be
