Why Do Your Eyes Get Red in the Pool?

The video explains that eye irritation in pools is not due to chlorine but chloramines, which form when chlorine reacts with bodily fluids like urine and sweat. Chloramines cause the strong pool smell and reduce chlorine's disinfecting power. To avoid irritation, swimmers should shower before entering the pool and avoid urinating in it. The video also promotes SCI Show's summer-themed content and merchandise.
