Based on the available information, it is generally safe to swim in chlorinated pools while taking Lipitor (atorvastatin), a medication used to treat high cholesterol levels. However, it is always recommended to consult with a healthcare professional or pharmacist for personalized advice, as individual responses to medications can vary.

Lipitor is primarily metabolized by the liver, and its elimination is not significantly influenced by renal function or urine pH [1]. Consequently, the drug's excretion should not be affected by chlorinated pool water.

However, it is essential to maintain proper hygiene and rinse off after swimming to prevent skin irritation or infection [2]. Also, remember that Lipitor may interact with other medications or supplements, so keeping your healthcare provider informed about all the substances you consume is crucial [1].
