Are there chlorine-free swimming pools in the UK?

Hello

Does anyone know if there are any chlorine-free swimming pools in England or the UK?

I've been told there are, but have been unable to find anything searching the internet.

My DS has very sensitive skin but loves the water, so its a real shame that he can't go to the local pool.

(We are lucky enough to have spring water at our house - but have noticed that even the chlorine in mains water irritates his skin when he has a bath at my mum's house.)

I am prepared to travel anywhere in the UK - even to make a holiday out of the trip if necessary!

Thanks

Have just spoken to Stowmarket swimming pool and they say they have never used anything other than chlorine.

Hi everyone and anyone, could someone please help in finding a chlorine free pool in Yorkshire. I've tried but can't seem to find anything on any search engines. My daughter is learning to swim and she absolutely loved it, but unfortunately her skin breaks out in a severe rash which requires doctor treatment . Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
