Do you take a shower after you swim?
If you swim in a pool that's correctly chlorinated, is it necessary from your perspective to shower after you get out of the pool?
Chlorine remains on your skin if you don't - and causes constant irritation. Also if you care about hair, you should wash it out with shampoo - water alone won't remove the chlorine entirely
In a public pool? Yes.
In the ocean? Most of the time. At least my feet; they get all sandy.
At home pool? ...eh, yeah normally now that I think about it. Warms you up and gets the chlorine off.

Huh? How hot is it where you leave?
I cannot express how much an improvement does it feels to take a proper shower after beach day here in my 30 Celsius average weather.
It's comparable. The temps here get in the 90's (F) but the water always feels cool or cold.
Not necessary, but much more comfortable.
Not a pool, but a hot tub, and yes, chlorine and pool chemicals can be harsh if they're left to dry on your skin.
Worse in your hair. There are even special shampoos for it.

Yes the chlorine is generally bad for your skin and showering is refreshing
Of course? There's all kind of chemical, dirt, alive and dead stuff in unpurified water.
Do you think they, just, redirect rivers into plumbings for sanitary use?
And people pee in the pool
I went 2 days without showering after a long time at a chlorinated pool and my hair was messed up for a while.
I've had a few meetings in the morning, after my morning swim and decided to skip the shower entirely, and I felt fine. Nothing was a miss
I was mainly optimizing a way having to dry myself off twice. Which takes a bit of time.
LPT you don't have to dry yourself off before the shower.
If you don't have a shower near the pool I would at least rinse off with a garden hose.
Not necessarily to be clean, but you should rinse off the chlorine (especially if you have hair). The hair gets really stiff & bleached if you don't, especially if you go outside in the sun for awhile afterwards, and you'll smell like chlorine.
Source: I was young and once had hair.
Lol, I love your source.
wait... you don't?
Always clean off after a tumble in the pool.
No, it’s fine.
As long as you are fine with random skin and hair stuck all over your body you don't need one.
Yes. Once in a while is probably fine - growing up I'd occasionally "shower" in the swimming pool if we didn't have power after a storm (on well water, no power means no water) - but one summer I was in the swimming pool so much that the chlorine turned my hair green.
Name checks out.
I love swimming, and going to the local swimming pool is one of my fave things to do. The chlorine makes my skin itchy and overall isn't too good for you, so I always make sure to shower after I'm finished! There's also just an extra layer of cleanliness that is felt after using the showers
I've never been in a pool as I have easy access to beaches (I still don't go anyways). I suspect many people here take showers after going to beach, to rid themselves of the sand that gets everywhere.
Yup, otherwise the wee wee looks like a tree stub
