Is Red Eyes After Getting Into Pool A Cause Of Concern?

My 4 yr old had red eyes when he went to swimming pool last Friday. No itching or pain when I asked him. But they were red for 2-3 days and slowly the redness subsided. He went to pool yesterday and now again his eyes are red. No itching or redness. Should I be worried?.
