One of the better RR knives would have to be the BM 100 RR.
There should be no problem with clorine water unless you plan on leaving the knife in it for days on and and nopt cleaning it after use. Hope this helps you and best of luck with the hunt for the perfect RR knife.

Recontech,
Regular Dive Knives work fine, I've done a bit of training in pools over the last 1.5 years and as long as you rinse/soak gear in freshwater after it's usually fine. If you're really worried about it you may want to coat it with some Marine Tough Cloth. If you want a different material Ocean Master makes a Beta Titanium knife, which is what I carry. It needs a little work on a sharpmaker when you get it, but otherwise a good knife. Underwater Kinetics also makes a great knife, called their Blue Tang model. It originally came only in steel and cost about $50 but I just checked and discovered that they are now being produced in Titanium as well for $90ish. Good Luck.

Could always try the Cat Tanto from Cold steel.

43% Zytel, blade and all made of that stuff not sure how sharp it is but you can easily shape the blade to what you want and use it in the pool. It should not react to anything. I'm almost sure Zytel is neutral with just about everything. And for the cost where can you go wrong.

You carry a knife in the swimming pool? I carry a knife in lakes, rivers and oceans, as well as dry land of course, but a swimming pool... do you own it yourself? If not, the person who does may be afraid you're going to pretend to be a shark play a few rounds of "get the slowest kid".
