HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is possible that you are allergic to the chlorine or another agent in the water if you only noticed the change in pigment when you started to swim in the pool.
To determine if this is the case , however, you would need to be assessed by a doctor preferably a dermatologist.
I hope this helps
