Pool Time & Tummy Trouble: When to Be Concerned

Summer means fun in the sun—and for many families, that includes long days at the pool. But if your child starts complaining about a stomachache after swimming, you may wonder if it’s more than just an off day. While some tummy troubles are harmless, others may signal a digestive issue worth addressing.

💦 Chlorine Sensitivity

Pools are treated with chlorine to kill germs, but for some children—especially those with sensitive GI tracts—chlorine exposure can cause nausea, cramps, or mild irritation. If your child regularly experiences discomfort after swimming, talk to a pediatric GI specialist to rule out an underlying sensitivity or allergy.

🦠 Ingesting Contaminated Water

Accidentally swallowing pool water can sometimes introduce bacteria or viruses, especially if the pool isn’t properly maintained. This can lead to gastrointestinal infections causing symptoms like diarrhea, vomiting, or abdominal pain. If symptoms last more than 24–48 hours, medical attention may be necessary.

🏊 Activity + Digestion Don’t Always Mix

Swimming right after eating can also cause discomfort, especially in kids with acid reflux, GERD, or other digestive issues. Give meals some time to settle—about 30 minutes to an hour—before jumping back into the pool.
