Pool Safety: When is it Safe to Swim After Using Chlorine?

The amount of time you should wait before swimming after using Clorox bleach in a pool depends on the concentration of bleach used and the size of the pool.

Generally, it is recommended to wait at least 24 hours after adding bleach to the pool before swimming, but it's best to wait 48-72 hours to ensure the bleach has completely dissipated.

You should also test the chlorine levels in the pool before swimming to make sure they are within the recommended range (1-3 parts per million).
