    Slightly off topic but there's a woman at my aquafit class chews gum in the pool, not sure why I find the mint smell offensive as people chewing gum elsewhere doesn't bother me, maybe the combination with chlorine smell ?

    Is that even safe? :o

    The rule usually is "no eating or drinking".

    I have never been to a gym and if I did go I would never even think about it affecting other people and I imagine I would have a good spray before going in so I didn't smell as well as puting more on after a shower. As I'm sure I'm not the only one to not know this do gyms ect have notices to warn of this problem? Something in the changing room and on the door politely explaining hot body creates strong smell and causes others discomfort so please use unsented and rollon not spray would be a real eye opener to a lot of people and of course some people would ignore it but a few would try and be more conciderate I'm sure . Just my thoughts

    My pool has a big sign with the rules and "no food or chewing gum" is at the top of the list.

    Yes, it can be the combination. Chlorine fumes are a bit on the heavy side so they kind of linger on the top of the water and other odors can mix with the chlorine and intensify
