The use of chlorine in swimming pool waters is not actually dangerous for you. For example, the water that has the correct chlorine value may even be healthier than water to which no chlorine has been added. Bacteria have free rein in untreated water.

The biggest problem in causing skin irritations is chlorine in swimming pool waters, which is used in many household products and in swimming pools to clean the water from bacteria. Some swimmers experience dry, flaky skin from chlorine, especially if they already suffer from eczema or other dry skin conditions.

This is many times better than swimming in water with chlorine.
