This may not be the same thing-YMMV-but my daughter had dyed her hair black ( I was out of town, otherwise I would have done it for her), had left it in too long so it hadn't gotten that natural fade she thought it'd have and wanted it out.
I took her to a salon where she had it stripped and the blackest portions became a muddy light brown. The strip was uneven due to the way she'd dyed it but since then, she's been dying it her natural deep brown. It'll take a couple more years to get it back( her hair is pretty long)
A couple of things to think about would be: How heavily chlorinated is the pool(is it possible they use any of those "natural chemicals") ? What is the base of the black? Is it blue or purple? What is your natural color and texture? Is the black going to a semi-permanent or permanent color?
Your best bet would be to ask other pool members about any experiences they may have had or ask who cuts your hair. Your other best bet, according to a friend of mine whose family is all competitive swimmers, is to wear a cap. This will protect the color and the texture.
If you swim a couple days every week, your hair is probably pretty porous already from the chlorine, so keep that in mind when you dye it.
