Is chlorine bad for babies, as going in a pool?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not at normal levels: Any pool that stinks too much of chlorine is probably not great for anybody as the gas formed as it escapes the water is a lung irritant. At normal levels it is fine for all swimmers including baby.
