Shower before a swim?

A thorough shower helps remove perspiration, body oils, cosmetics and traces of urine and fecal matter on the body. Sending those substances down the shower drain goes a long way toward reducing the “yuck factor” for everyone who shares the pool, but there is much more to consider 🙄

The pre-swim shower helps minimize the irritating, smelly substances formed in pool water when impurities introduced on the bodies of swimmers combine with chlorine. Many people identify that smell as the smell of chlorine. A recent survey found 38 percent of people believe the characteristic chemical odour of some swimming pools in an indicator of a clean pool. In fact, that stringent odour is not from chlorine, but from irritants produced when the chlorine reacts with impurities. A well-managed pool has no strong chemical smell ✅
