Chlorine levels were tested with chlorine meter then eye complaint and contact time were taken from the questionnaire filling. The analysis test was performed by using chi-square test. There was correlation between eye irritation with chlorine level with result of chi-square test p value = 0,002 and odds ratio equal to 4,577. There was correlation between eye complaint with chlorine contact time with chi-square test p value = 0,04 and odds ratio 2,857. Conclusion: Participants with chlorine exposure more than standard were at risk 4,577 times to have eye irritation than participants with chlorine exposure at standard.
