You know the chlorine disinfectant in swimming pools? Is it bad for the skin?

The weather has been getting warmer lately, so swimming is a great way to take care of my health and find a hobby. However, there is one thing that is weighing on my mind. I know it is essential for disinfection, but I am worried that the chlorine might irritate my skin if it comes into contact with it. I heard that it eats away at the skin's protective barrier, causing it to dry out easily, and can also cause white flakes of dead skin or itching. Since I have sensitive skin that gets rough and dry even with a slight imbalance in oil and moisture, I am scared that the pool water might make my skin texture rough or cause breakouts.
