Years ago when I got married, we went to the beach for our honeymoon. This was way before I knew anything about pools. I had really long blonde hair. A couple of days into the trip, my husband and I were walking down the beach and he looked at me and said, "your ponytail is green." When I got back to the hotel and looked in the mirror, I couldn't believe it. Yep, it was green! Of course, at the time, I thought it was the fault of the chlorine in the pool. Now I know better. Apparently that hotel pool had been treated with some product that had copper in it. I spent the following afternoon in a beauty shop having some kind of red goop put on my hair to get rid of the green. Whatever she did worked though.

So, now that I know better, I typically don't put my head underwater when I swim at pools other than my own. (Of course, I wouldn't be afraid to swim in all of y'alls pools since y'all are all so smart and know the right things to add and not add to your water!)
