Does chlorine make eye burn?


There are a few reasons why your eyes can burn, and often it is because there is too much chlorine in the pool! Do not let that happen to you or your family. That can all be avoided when hiring the right pool company, A.K.A. Claro Pool 😉


According to C.D.C., to help protect swimmers' health, chlorine is commonly added to the water to prevent the spread of germs and outbreaks. But chlorine can also combine with what comes out of or washes off swimmers' bodies, such as pee, poop, sweat, dirt, skin cells, and personal care products, such as deodorant and makeup). This causes two problems:

  • It decreases the amount of chlorine available to kill germs.

  • It creates chemical irritants called chloramines ("chlor," short for chlorine, and "amines," compounds that contain nitrogen).

How do chloramines affect swimmers?

It leads to red and itchy eyes, skin irritation, and rashes.


Is there a solution for burning eyes during or after the swim?

First of all, the most important is to maintain the pH of the swimming pool between 7.2 and 7.8 to keep the chlorine as effective as possible at killing pathogens.

Secondly, as swimmers, we need to follow two rules ALWAYS take a shower before swimming NEVER pees in the pool. ( we know yuck! but kids do that often)
