My DS has excema and he has swimming lessons in a chlorinated pool as there are no salt water ones around.
We have found that as long as we rinse him off straight after it doesnt seem to be a problem.
I just take him in the showers and give him a good wash straight after and it hasnt caused any problems, on the odd occasion that he hasnt been washed it does tend to affect his excema.
Chlorine aggrevates DD's skin but I also find rinsing her off as soon as I get home and putting sorbolene on helps. She is also bathed daily in QV bath oil which keeps her skin in good condition. Give it a go - you won't know until you try. If your childs excema is bad, perhaps get a sample of the water and try that on a bit of skin first.
