Unless your shocking the pool with chlorine, you can swim in it during the treatment. When you shock a pool with chlorine, your adding massive amounts to kill any mold that goes all the way through the sides and into the ground. Then it would hurt your eyes even to stay around it for long periods. Your filter and the sun will remove excessive chlorine in a short time. Some people have to shock older pools every year. If you keep the pool in good shape all year round you might never have to shock it.

Usually an hour, but it depends on the level of chlorine that was placed in the pool. For example, if you have "shocked" your pool, then you usually need to wait at least 4 hours (shocking a pool means to heavily saturate your pool with chlorine to get rid of an algae problem, for example; shocking is also usually performed at the beginning of the swim season to prepare your pool for an increased bathing load in the warmer months).

Did you just open the pool? If the pool has already been treated chemically and is clear then you can swim in it right away. We put our chlorine in the skimmer.
