Natural swimming pools allow you to cool off without the chemicals

Everyone loves to take a dip in the pool during the hot summer months, but chlorine and other chemicals can damage your body. Besides the obvious effects that the chemical has on hair, recent studies have linked chlorine with increased asthma rates, and children who swim in pools seem to wheeze more often than those who don't

So, what's the alternative? As people become more and more aware of the effect that chemicals have on their bodies, many are turning to completely natural pools at their homes to cool off in the summer. Companies are popping up that offer products that keep natural pools clean without the use of chemicals.

The Daily Green has a slide show with 23 of the best all-natural swimming pools and ponds they could find. Check it out here.
