chlorine pool

Chemical-laden swim spot

A chlorine pool is a swimming pool sanitized with chlorine, the most common method of keeping pool water free of harmful bacteria and algae.

The term usually appears in contrast to saltwater pools or other alternatives: We switched from a chlorine pool to saltwater because of the smell.

Chlorine pools require regular chemical testing and maintenance.
