Frogs breath through their skin. All the chlorine and other stuff in tap water blocks off the oxygen.

Not trying to be a DB (seriously)...can you give the physiology behind this? I'm not aware of Chlorine interacting with hemoglobin to interfere with O2 binding...

I'm really asking, bc if it is legit, I would like to be educated,
