Swimming in Pool for 1+ Hours Causes Voice to Break: Reasons?

[JamesU]

I've noticed that everytime I swim in the pool for 1+ hours, My voice will break and at some points I can't speak. does anyone have any ideas as to why this happpens?

Is this lap swimming or another pool activity where you are not talking to anyone or are you actively conversing with your friends at probably a higher than normal volume?

Or are you swallowing a lot of heavily chlorinated water that's irritating your throat? That used to happen to me in pools, the chlorine was irritating, and I'd have a sore throat after spending a lot of time in a pool (even if I wasn't talking or shouting, just swimming quietly).

Of course, you're also at that age where your voice might be starting to break for reasons other than swimming. It could just be coincidence that it's happening now while you're out swimming a lot with warm weather's arrival.

no, my voice gets high and breaks for a few hours after swimming.

it's not chlorine, because one of my friends' pools uses a kind of water called saline, it has no chlorine in it.
