Yes, your pool room can be used to grow plants. But you will have two problems from your description. First is light, herbs and vegi's need lots of light to grow well indoors. If your windows are shaded by trees you will need to add lights of some kind. Second, chlorine does take it's toll on plants, it is very toxic, which is why it works so well at keeping the pool clean. If you really want to have healthy plants in there, look in to getting an Ozone system for the pool. It will reduce the amount of chemicals you need. While you are at it look in to switching to Bromide instead of chlorine. Safer for both you and the plants and I think you will like loosing the chlorine smell in your house.

If you don't add lights or alter your pool chemicals there are a number of rugged tropical plants that will survive in low light and bad air. Try a Monstera or philodendron, also some of the Ficus, like fiddle leaf fig can also take those kinds of conditions, but stay away from Ficus benjamina they hate chlorine.

good luck,
