If you like to swim, why not find a good creek, or lake to swim in? Do you know that chlorine is one of the most dangerous chemicals known to man? When ingested, it scars the artery walls, setting the stage for arterial diseases, clogging, etc. that leads to heart failure. It is not even good when it is absorbed into the skin. People think that because something is common, it's OK.

I'm gonna guess that you mean a PPD shot, which is a test to see if you have or have had TB. If I'm wrong, ignore me. It's the one where you get a small bump where they inject. The idea with that is just not to rough it up too much, it could become irritated and give a false positive reading. Swimming is about as low-contact as you can get, so it should be fine. And the chlorine won't affect it at all, the shot is underneath the skin, the chlorine shouldn't be able to get to it
