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.
