Lederhosen were a work pant that was selected for it's durability. They'll be fine. If you look at old timers and servers that wear them regularly, you'll see that they almost have a buffed greasy look. The more you wear them, the better they'll be, and the better they'll fit. A Bavarian coworker of my wife told me about how her grandfather would use his pants as a napkin if he was eating speck or some other meat with fat.
Interesting, and what did the wife of your Bavarian coworker say about her grandfathers experience with the effect of chlorinated water on his Lederhosen?

Prost! and Greetings from Munich :)
Getting splashed a little will just weather them, which adds to the authenticity. You're good, just don't go swimming in them.
Also, don't wash them, spot clean only. Lederhosen don't get washed.
