A salt water pool is a chlorine pool. The difference is that in a normal fresh water pool you have to add the chlorine as it is required.
In the case of the salt water pool salt is added to the pool which is int urn run through a chlorine generator that is installed on the pipe leading from the filter to the pool. The chlorine generator electronically separates chlorine gas out of the salt water which then dissolves into the water automatically maintaining chlorine levels. The adidion of salt to the water makes it more pleasant to swim in and you are spared having to handle and store chlorine at home. but the problem is you are still swimming in Chlorine and now you are also swimming in sodium.

Because salt water contain ions of sodium and chlorine.
Does a salt water spa really need chlorine or bromine?
Yes, a salt water spa still needs either chlorine or bromine to disinfect the water and ensure it is safe for use. The salt water system generates chlorine or bromine through electrolysis, so you don't need to manually add as much as with traditional chemical systems.
Can you put salt in your chlorine pool and make it clearer and easier to maintain?

Does salt or chlorine chlorinate better?
Salt is NaCl from which Chlorine gas (also known as mustard gas) is generated. So salt chlorinators are chlorine factories that produce chlorine gas from the salt molecule. Salt has a softening effect so feels smoother on the skin, creating an illusion of health. However, in the end you're still swimming in chlorine which is very unhealthy. Salt chlorinators are also extremely bad for the environment. Back washing salt water to sewerage systems has been banned in many parts of the USA due to damage from salt to natural waterways and wetlands.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of salt water pool systems?

Why does a salt water pool smell like chlorine?
A salt water pool does not actually smell like chlorine. The smell comes from chloramines, which are compounds produced when chlorine combines with contaminants in the water. Salt water pools use a chlorine generator to create chlorine from salt, but should have lower levels of chloramines compared to traditional chlorine pools.
