Pool smell is not due to chlorine, but to chloramines. Chloramines result from the combination of chlorine and the cosmetics and urine that enter pools on the bodies of swimmers.
"A whiff of pool water—often described as the smell of chlorine—can stir happy thoughts of summer. However, if strong enough, “pool smell” can signify a source of irritation to the eyes, lungs and skin of swimmers. Pool smell is not due to chlorine, but to chloramines, chemical compounds that can form in pool water.
Chloramines result from the combination of chlorine disinfectants and the perspiration, cosmetics, and urine that enter pools on the bodies of swimmers. Chlorine disinfectants are added to pool water to destroy germs that can give swimmers diarrhea, swimmer’s ear and athlete’s foot. Perspiration, oils and urine are unwanted additions to pool water. By showering before entering the pool to wash these substances from the skin, swimmers can help minimize pool smell."
