[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]what usually works for us is practice suit goes in very small bucket (think size of a hotel ice bucket or smaller) fill bucket partially with cold water and swish suit around, take out suit with one hand and dump water from bucket with other hand, then keep repeating until chlorine smell is gone - sometimes need to also hold suit directly under running tap and move the suit around, & our PRACTICE suits can sometimes take gentle squeezing a few times in between bucket swishes and running directly under tap to get rid of the diluted chlorine water  - this works for us, try at you own risk[/quote]

PP. This is a lot of work. Try sodium ascorbate, it is an antioxidant that reacts with chlorine to form a chlorine salt, water and table salt (NaCl). It’s commonly used to get rid of chlorine in water for fisheries and for aquariums. Sodium ascorbate is better than ascorbic acid, which produces a chlorine salt and a small amount of hydrochloric acid.   Sprinkling a teaspoon of sodium ascorbate in your bucket will neutralize chlorine immediately, you will be surprised at how quickly the chlorine smell goes away.

I also add some to water in a spray bottle for my kids when they are at a big meet, since they often keep those pools heavily chlorinated to handle all the swimmers. [/quote]
