Is it ok for my 10 month old to go into a pool with chlorine in it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Chlorinated pool: Yes, the chlorine in the pool helps to kill bacteria that can cause infection or illness. After swimming, rinse off with fresh water to remove chlorine from the skin and hair, as it can dry the skin and bleach the hair if left in place.
