Yes, you can wash this fabric or put it in a pool, but it is not stretchy (it's a woven). And it will ravel like crazy on all cut edges unless they're properly finished.

What I think you really want are swimming suit knits, generally nylon-lycra or polyester-lycra blends. Some places to start looking: http://www.spandexhouse.com/ and http://www.fabricdepotco.com

Make sure you get chlorine-resistant fabrics if they're going in a pool.
