Hi Suzann -
Not only is it OK - its one of the better things your daughter can do to help dry the rash. The chlorinated water helps to dry up the rash. There's not a chance that she has any urushiol oil on her skin to "pass on" and even if so, the sheer amount of water in a pool would dilute it anyway. I spend extra time in the pool when I have a poison ivy induced rash as it helps to ease itching, dry the rash, and is just plain fun.
Tell your daughter to go have fun :-) |
