Why do they chlorify the swimming pool water?

If it's not chlorified, what kind of diseases would spread?
Answer:
Chlorine as known as Bleach (obviously) is used to to prevent all types of growth in the water of pools. It has a wide spectrim of coverage...such as Alge, Prevents mosqitoe's egg growth, Parasites such as Cryptosporidium, as well as Bacteria.
hence many types of disease could be spread if chlorine was not used...Crytosporsosis, Staph infections, to name a couple.
Chlorine does not directly prevent diesease. Chlorine is added to so that things that usually grow in water will not be able to survive. Mainly it algae and thus water animals that live off algae.
im not sure of disease as such but the water will turn a green colour and bread tadpoles and frogs to become clear water again simply chlorifiey and you have clear water
