Is the water from our taps, which we drink and bathe in, contain chlorine like in the swimming pools?

There'll be trace amounts of it because it occurs naturally, but no where near as much as they put in swimming pools. The reason they put it into swimming pools is to kill bacteria, but it's not in drinking or tap water in that amount because it would do you harm!

First in North America most major water treatment plants now use chlorine gas not liquid, and they stopped putting trace amounts of flouride/flourine in drinking water back in the 1980's, no major city in the US or Canada adds it anymore.

Yes, but only traces of it. They don't pump the stuff into it like pools.
