I think it is found in seawater or salted water. It is not naturally in swimming pool water so it must be somehow injected/put into that type of water. Chlorine is always found in components. It can be found in salt, seas and salty leaves. It is mostly manufactured in America.

Chlorine is commonly found in nature in the form of the mineral halite (rock salt) and dissolved in seawater. It can also be found in household products such as bleach, and is used in water treatment facilities to disinfect water. Additionally, chlorine is a component of many industrial chemicals and products.

Chloride is the ionized form or chlorine. It's a chlorine ion, or an atom of chlorine that has borrowed an electron from another atom and is hanging around in ionic form, probably in solution like it does in salt water. The chlorine ion, which we use Cl- to represent, has dissociated from the atom to which it was ionically bonded and stolen away the donor atom's electron. It table salt, which is sodium chloride, or NaCl, the molecule will dissociate when it gets into water, and the sodium ion (Na+) and the chloride ion (Cl-) will split up and wander around in the solution.

it is mostly fond in pools to help keep it clean and in cleaning supplies to keep other things clean.

In elemental form maybe but it is very reactive so is "found" mostly in compounds such as common salt (sodium chloride), and the active ingredient in bleach and disinfectant for small swimming-pools(calcium hypochlorite, becoming what is known as a "chlorine donor" in its action).

Chlorine gas is used in commercial swimming-pool disinfection and in purifying mains water supplies; but it is very toxic and corrosive so requires special plant and precautions to handle it.

It is not found uncombined in nature. It is only found in compounds containing it, such as NaCl and KCl deposits

Chlorine, in the form of Chloride(Cl-) ions, can be found in table salt, which comes from oceans. Al oceans are abundant in Sodium Chloride(NaCl).

Table salt is a good place to start. There's trace amounts in the air too, and some in Swimming Pools. Ooh, bleach too!
