I have a few questions for you experts (or self reflecting types) on pool swimming. What are the effects of chlorine? It gets in my head a little because I’m well aware that Skin is the body’s biggest organ.
I try to get a good soap shower afterwards, but can often smell the the chemicals late into the night. Is there a special soap/shampoo I should be using? Has anyone felt like they’ve experienced chlorine detox during the day? Good swim caps? Pre-swim body apps? Any other thoughts on this topic?
