It's called swimming pool conjunctivitis. It's due to viral infection or chlorinated water used for cleaning. Take a break for 1 week and consult doctor for treatment

Most probably it is allergic conjuntivitis caused by chemicals used for disinfection of swimming pool. Ask him to wear goggles while swimming. Use lubricating eye drops like refresh tears 2-4 times a day. Consult an ophthalmologist in clinic for blurry vision. Severity of allergic conjuntivitis may increase if the basic cause is not avoided.

Pink eyes and blurry vision both might be due    due to disruption of the tear film, use swimming goggles, also can use tear substitutes just before and after swimming, it's also important to rule out any other causes of blurry vision for so please review with an eyedoctor
