Does swimming pool chlorine damage the thyroid? if so, how can i protect my thyroid?

No: If you're swimming, it's fine. If you're doing pool maintenance and mixing the chlorine solution, please be careful to use proper precautions so that you don't accidentally make chlorine gas, which is highly poisonous.
