Intro to Competitive swimming

Salt water pool

A saltwater pool is a type of swimming pool that uses salt to sanitize the water rather than chlorine. Saltwater pools use a process called electrolysis to convert the salt into chlorine, which is then used to kill bacteria and other microorganisms in the water.

Benefits of a Saltwater Pool

Saltwater pools offer numerous advantages over traditional chlorinated pools, providing a safer, gentler, and more enjoyable swimming experience. At Felix’s Swim Schools, we’re proud to feature some of the best saltwater pools in Toronto and the GTA, ensuring that swimmers of all ages and skill levels benefit from this enhanced aquatic environment.


Gentle on Skin and Eyes

One of the most significant benefits of saltwater pools is their gentleness. Unlike traditional pools with high chlorine levels, saltwater pools generate chlorine naturally through electrolysis, resulting in lower chemical concentrations. This means less irritation for sensitive skin and eyes—perfect for children and anyone with allergies or sensitivities.


Soft and Comfortable Water

Saltwater pools have a smooth, soft feel that enhances the swimming experience. This gentle texture creates a comfortable environment, especially for young learners, helping them feel relaxed and confident in the water.


Reduced Chemical Odors

Say goodbye to the overpowering smell of chlorine! Saltwater pools produce only mild salinity, reducing unpleasant chemical odors. This makes the pool atmosphere more inviting and enjoyable for both swimmers and spectators.


Environmentally Friendly

Saltwater pools are also a greener option. By reducing the need for chemical additives, they offer a more eco-friendly approach to maintaining clean and safe water.

Some benefits of saltwater pools include:

Softer water: The water in a saltwater pool is typically softer and less irritating to the skin and eyes than the water in a chlorine pool.

Less maintenance: Saltwater pools require less maintenance than chlorine pools, as the salt cell generates the chlorine automatically.

Environmentally friendly: Saltwater pools do not produce the strong chemical smell associated with chlorine pools, and the water does not leave a residue on the skin or hair.

Cost-effective: In the long run, saltwater pools are cost-effective as they eliminate the need to purchase and store chlorine.

Lower chlorine levels: The levels of chlorine in a saltwater pool are generally lower than in a chlorine pool, which can reduce the risk of skin and eye irritation and other chlorine-related health problems.

It is worth noting that a saltwater pool requires some maintenance, like replacing the cell and salt level monitoring. Also, not all saltwater pools are the same; some have a higher salt level than others, which might impact the longevity of the pool equipment.
