I would recommend double checking with his pediatrician about the water but pink eye (aka conjunctivitis) is highly contagious.

No i wouldnt think so coz conjunctivitis is VERY contagious, and also the chlorine might irritate his eyes even more. Also in Nursury there tends to be lots of germs and bugs around so its better to be safe than sorry for the sake of your son.
Hope hes better soon!

why dont you keep him in for a while please because swimming in chlorine will not do any good to his eyes,wont hurt to miss one class.Talk to the teacher to set a day for him to practise what he misses out when his eyes get better.Please be sure you are there to see that hes okay
