Can you catch STDs from a public pool?

Asked by atlantis (1862points) July 1st, 2011

It’s an indoor pool, very clean. But I wonder if chlorine is all it takes to sterilize water. This may or may not be due to the swimming but I noticed that my face has gotten really dry and flaky from swimming everyday. Could this be a reaction to the chemicals or due to an infection I caught from the pool?
