I had noticed that swimming daily changes the colour of the body towards darker side. I think it happens due to excess chlorine added in the water.

I highly doubt that, it is probably due to exposure to the sun.

Sir I think it is due to chlorine in excess quantity.

@bsameep Chlorine is used in bleach, it doesn't darken things...

Chlorine is a bleaching agent. It would tend to make the skin lighter, if anything. It is much more likely that swimming involves exposing the body to sunlight and that will definitely darken the skin.
