Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
Can understand your concerns.
This could be due to allergic reaction to pool water which might be dirty, or allergy due to some insect bite.
In my opinion, you should give cetrizine syrup to child which is antiallergic for two to three days.
Avoid swimming in same pool again.
I hope this will help you.
Wishing your child good health.
Take care.
