Hello,
Pool water contains chlorine -- a chemical used to help get rid of bacteria such as E. coli and parasites.
Chlorine may not eliminate all of these germs, so if children swallow pool water they could become sick, Upset stomach and vomiting.
Give him liquids to rehydrate, small portions rice apple, bananas. If he continues vomiting or has diarrhea or fever go to the doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
