That's a common misconception. What you have is probably a high concentration of minerals (esp. copper) in the water

The green color in blond hair after swimming in a pool with chlorine is due to a chemical reaction between the chlorine and the hair. Chlorine can oxidize metals in hair products, turning light hair green. The green hue is more noticeable in light-colored hair due to the contrast in colors.

Blond hair can turn a greenish tint from chlorine but regular tap water from the faucet shouldn't be turning it green.

Tonight I'm bleaching my hair but I want to go swimming Even if I rinse out the chlorine before I bleach it will it turn my hair green?

Chlorine does not turn hair green. Copper in the pool water is the culprit. If you wash your hair before you bleach it, it should not turn green from an earlier swim. If you are concerned about copper in your hair, rinse your hair with white vinegar. That will break down the copper and remove it.
