If infected, no!: If you have a stye in the eyelid margin, don't get your face/head wet in a chlorinated pool or jacuzzi. It may irritate it further. Always think prevention & caution from it getting worse, and being safe. Better to use warm compresses 3-4 times a day for 10-15 minutes and heal it, to decompress it. Then once healed, and not inflamed, swim away! :D

Chlorine/stye: although it may sting, or burn at the site of the stye, should not harm you. See your eye care doctor before you get in the water.
