A question for the pool maintainers among us.
This weekend my 7-year-old son's class (and their families) were invited to a pool party at the home
of one of the wealthier families in our area. Everyone had a great time. At one time I counted 46
kids in their pool.
About halfway through the affair, I noticed that the blonder kids' hair had clearly turned a shade
of green. Not the bright yellow bleached look that I'm accustomed to among swim team members, but
almost a Kool- Aid green.
The next day, my son's hair (medium brown) was ok, but my daughter's hair (kinda in-between
blond-red-light brown) was still noticeably a bit green.
What could have caused that? There was nothing visibly wrong with the water, nor was there any funny
smell to it.
