It sounds a lot like ringworm. My family had an above ground pool that initially did not have chlorine in it. I was already sick with strep throat and had a compromised immune system, but after swimming in the pool and going to bed shortly after, I noticed in the morning that I had an oval shaped pink rash on my abdomen. My doctor inspected the rash the next day and confirmed it was ringworm (very common in the summer months and easily contracted from a swimming pool which harbors fungi without the appropriate chemicals like chlorine). I wish the best of luck to you and anyone else who stumbles upon this answer. Ringworm can be treated with over-the-counter cream or prescription cream, but it should be treated immediately never the less. It takes a few weeks to fully be rid of this fungal infection and even then, there is a moderate risk of recurrence.

Should you swim if you have heat rash?

Swimming with heat rash is generally not recommended, as it can exacerbate the irritation and lead to further discomfort. Chlorine in pools or saltwater can irritate the rash, while the friction from swimming can worsen the condition. It's best to allow the rash to heal before resuming swimming activities. If symptoms persist, consider consulting a healthcare professional for advice.
