Can you swim once once you have lightened your hair or will it make your hair green? What will happen if you apply it and you sweat. Will the effects go off or is it immune to sweat?

Your hair will turn green if there's heavy metals in the water.
I use to think it was the chlorine in the water, until now.
It's the copper that does the "greening effect".
And you asked if you sweat, what will happen. If your hair is dripping with anything, your lemon juice will wash out too.
PS, lemon juice is really rough on hair, and there's Sun-In for instance that works great for gentle lightening, and it's made for lighting hair while sitting in the sun.
If you want to use lemon juice to lighten your hair it might turn green depending on the pH balance in the pool that you use. If the pool has a lot of copper in the water this will turn any hair, green not just hair lightened with lemon juice.
A safe way to lighten your hair is a product called Sun In. You can use this in your hair sitting in the sun or you can use a blow dryer to lighten your hair with this product. The product works with the heat of the sun or the blow dryer.
Chlorine reacts with hair dye. Wear a swim cap
there ccan be an unfortunate reaction to the hair since your lemon treatment is acidic and bleach is basic
if the idea is to have a cheap DIY lightening experience, you may want to try hydrogen peroxide for your hair instead
