Chlorine smells very similar to bleach. Swimming pools are normally disinfected with chlorine and you may be able to smell it at one. Most people would tell you that at swimming pools it is the Chlorine you can smell, but actually it's the Chlorine reacting with substances in the water i.e. Urine
Someone/something changed the original question and that is probably why it has not been answered.Safe levels for chlorine are 1.5 ppm to about 5.0 ppm. of free chlorine. You should have a test kit that will give you free chlorine readings as opposed to just a chlorine residual. Free chlorine is what sanitizes the pool water. If you can smell a chlorine odor coming from your pool then you do not have enough chlorine in the water.K

No, it has quite a strong odour. If you have smelled household bleach or the liquid 'shock' that's added to swimming pools then you have experienced the smell of chlorine.

The way are sense of smell works the smell of chlorine in hottubs should not sting your nose.
Generally if chlorine level is maintained between 1-3ppm you should not smell chlorine. As the level rises it becomes noticable, however most complaints about chlorine smell are due to chloramines (even in a clear & clean pool), chlorine molecules which are bound by swimmer wastes and/or bacteria introduced to the pool. This problem can be confirmed by a reputable pool shop by testing your water. Fix it by oxidising your pool regularly during the swimming season and let the pool breathe by removing the cover for the following hour or so.
If you have ever smelled laundry bleach, or been in a swimming pool and noticed a smell to the water- that is the smell of chlorine (in a fairly mild form). Pure chlorine gas is pale green, has a choking, burning smell, and is deadly to breathe. Whether it is "worse" than the smell of wastewater would depend on the purity of the chlorine you smell- the more pure, the worse the smell.
It is often said to smell like chlorine.

Bleach smells of chlorine because if you add an acid to bleach, you will produce chlorine gas.
