Baby swimming - I'm freaking out, please reassure me!

Hi
I'm taking my 3 month old to swimming classes, which he seems to enjoy. Only problem is that he likes to drink the water! The next day he often seems to be very windy and suffering with tummy trouble.
Now I'm sure they wouldn't let us take babies swimming if there were any long term health risks, Confused but I am starting to worry about the effects the chemicals in the water might be having - he's too young to digest anything other than milk, so could drinking swimming pool water cause him any problems later on?
I've googled it and can't see anything conclusive.
It's a massive case of PFB I'm sure Smile

Thank you Pixie! We do love the swimming - he's starting to really splash about now and it's so cute! Grin
