Answer 1

Inner ear infection ?

Allergic reaction to Chlorine will work say it affects your eyes and you are sensitive to light after exposure.

Answer 2

First off, i know someone who's allergic to chlorine, so yes you can be. Second of all, some excuses to use would be that you have bronchitis (5+ days out), you can get permission from another teacher to work on a project that you're "behind on" (1+ days), you've sprained your ankle (2+ days), or you can just go, suffer, and finish up your gym class (0 days).

Answer 3

you can go swimming the 1st day and the next u can say u got a rash from the cholrine...idk if u can be allergic. but u do need a pretty good amount of chlorine in the pool (or be in the pool for a while) to get a rash. but if u dont want to break ur arm or leg and then u will have to have a cast and will be excused for swimming but u will get a good grade b/c of it.!

Answer 4

If you're going to get out of this one, you have to know your enemy. Read your school manual and figure out how much proof you need to claim illness. If you go to a public school than you probably can't do this on your own, I don't think even if you had a cast on they would let you go without a note at some schools! Get your parents to get you out of it or if you have to, tell the school counselor that your phobic. If they made you swim or penalized you and you're phobic, you could probably sue for discrimination. Otherwise you might go to a pool with two or three of your friends and learn to swim (that's what I did). If all else fails sneak some poison ivy in and put it on after getting in the pool.

Answer 5

I agree fullheartedly with "gjerstadkid" (Did I spell it right?).

Swimming is fabulous. Why do you hate it? Obviously, if you hate it so much, you know how to swim. It's like me and running. I despise running! We have to run two miles every week in P.E. I have to get through it. I know how to run, but I don't like it. I still do it. You really should swim. It's not as if you are going to drown, considering you have gone swimming before. Just suck it up and swim.

Good luck. The 15 hours you spend in the water won't kill you. It can only help you. :)

Answer 6

Answer 7

Ok, Why in the world would you want to be excused from swimming? Swimming is sooo much fun! I love swimming. I think you should forget about trying to get out of it and suck it up... You can only benefit from swimming... And not benefit from excuses...

Answer 8

ya u can be allergic to chlorine. but if u go in the pool area then twell them and ur in there 4 like 2 minutes they will say u r lying. just say that u r outside the pool area. if u r really allergic to it the nu will start breaking down in hives the minute u walk in that pool area! and y don't u like swimming? wat is there not to like about it. is it about ur apperence? well i'm kind of picky about my apperence in a bathingsuit all the other girls r like skiny as a stick and i just feel really bad about how i look in front of the skinny girls so if it's about apperence it doesn't matter hwo u look it matters about how much fun u have. don't worry about ur look. that's wat i always say to myself. so hope that answers u question! :-D

Answer 9
