YES... Depending on the type of plastic. But many brands of pool chlorine tablets are individually sealed in plastic when you buy them. However, even the plastic they wrap the tablets in isn't immune from the chlorine damage. Usually, the plastic tablet wrapping will remain sealed for about one swimming season. If you have tablets that were individually wrapped, purchased during last year's swim season, there's a strong likelihood that if you take a tablet out of the bucket now, you will find the plastic wrapping either no longer sealed, or brittle so when you try opening the plastic tablet wrapping, the plastic will simply crumble in your hands instead of being flexible like it was last year when you quit using the pool.

Do you take the chlorine tablet out of the pool when swimming?

It's recommended but I have swam with it in the pool for hours at a time, on a daily basis, no problem. But it would be nice to not have to confront it every time you turn around. Oh now I remember, the chlorine in the water also gave me streaked hair, (I'm blonde with brunette parts) people were asking me left and right if I went to the saloon, I told them it was the pool. It also dried out my skin but at the time I didn't use lotion so that could be fixed.
