No. Chlorine does a good job of killing most germs, but it does not sterilize the water. A few germs can continue to exist in normal pool levels of chlorine for several hours to days. Chlorine must be maintained at proper levels to kill most germs. </DIV><BR />Remember: Even if you can smell the chlorine odor the water is not germ free.
