It is safe to swim after adding hydrochloric acid to swimming pool. but in a small quantity like for a pool just a liter of dil. HCl (0.1N) . But if you use conc. HCl , then there may be chances of skin burn or blisters etc. to the skin.

It mainly depends on concentration. and amount of water is added.

DO NOT ADD conc. HCL to the water. There will the chances of bursting.

I would wait for at least 2-hours afterwards. Keep in mind it takes 1 full hour to cycle around the entire radius of your pool once you add a chemical to your water
