What Causes Eye Burning After Coming From Swimming Pool?

My son's eyes are burning after being in the swimming pool. We have flushed them with water and let the shower run over them, and used eye drops. He is still crying that they are burning and he has been out of the pool and had flushed eyes for three hours.

Hi
No more flushing with water will help now. Sometimes excess of it becomes more irritating for the conjunctival sac.
Use lubricating eye drops and give rest to the eyes.
It should be alright.
