"Swimming is supposed to be fun. To make sure that it stays fun (which includes not getting sick), make sure you're not only a swimmer, but a proactive one. Be an activist swimmer. Start by ordering some free test strips from HealthyPools.org and test the water at the pool(s) you use regularly. If the readings don't match those of a healthy pool, tell the lifeguard. It's easy to be proactive, and the best benefit will be swimming a healthy pool. Then, go back to HealthyPools.org to enter your pool's data and help paint a picture of pool conditions across the country. See how your pool stacks up.
But also, be a good example yourself - shower before you jump into a pool. Remember that "chlorine smell?" It isn't even chlorine. It's Chloramines- by-products of the interaction between chlorine and body oil, pee and other contaminants.
