[Paddlewise] Carbon Fiber/f-glass Advice needed...

Hello again, 
I just purchased a Mitchell Slasher Paddle it has a custom carbon fiber shaft 
and basswood/ash/f-glass blades. It has a lively feel and has a really 
pleasing flex in the shaft.
   I spend a lot of time in the off season in a university pool. I am 
wonsering if I should be concerned abut the effects of pool chemicals on this 
paddle.
I have seen paint come off fiberglass paddles before and really want to keep 
this paddle looking good.
   Any advice?

My only complaint is that this paddle makes my nearly-new River Passage look 
like a stiff turd.

Thanks 
Phil
