Hi, typically you are told to avoid swimming in chlorinated pools for a few days before and after since chlorine is very drying on the skin. I would wait a couple more days or follow up with whom ever you got the peel from.
The chlorine in the swimming pool can be irritating to the skin, specially after a treatment such as a chemical peel. Exercise is very important in life and my suggestion is to apply moisturizer before swimming to give your skin a protective barrier against the chlorine and other chemicals in the water and watch for any signs of increased irritation and itching after the swim. Contact your provider if any abnormal reaction occurs . Best-Dr Alex Khadavi M.D.

I would definitely be more careful in the future after a chemical peel since your skin is more sensitive and you are not supposed to be in the sun afterwards. I would consult your treating physician for assessment and guidance at this point and perhaps they will prescribe a burn cream for you ...
The neck and chest are very sensitive areas. It is not uncommon for them to become red and irrated with Retin A. I would encourage you to discuss your progress with your aesthetician to ensure this is the type of reaction she was hoping for with your treatment.
