It's not. Many people shower after swiming to prevent chlorine from changing their hair color or fade their swim suits. A 2005 survey by the American Dermatology Association found that less than 7% of Americans shower after swimming.

∙ 15y agoIt is a good idea to clean yourself before going into any pool chlorinated or otherwise the dirtier you are when entering a pool the greater the strain on the existing chlorine in the pool leading to the need for more chlorine and a increased risk of passing on or piking up illnesses from other swimmers.

∙ 13y agoThe chlorine can start to itch if you don't and your hair gets very griddy and not soft and can turn green if you don't shower after frequent pool trips. If you start to perspire after you don't take a shower you can immediately smell the chlorine on you. It is your personal choice to take a shower, I being a swimmer take a shower after every time I swim.

∙ 9y agoNo. Not everyone needs to shower after swimming in chlorine. Many people suffer no effects. However, for people who are sensitive to chlorine ,the chlorine may possibly cause an allergic reaction. If not a reaction, maybe tiny little bumps. By simply going to the doctor, he or she will prescribe some rash cream. If you don't like going to the doctor you may go to the local general store and purchase Destin for babies ,Poison Ivy, Oak,or Sumac cream or, you could purchase just plain rash cream.

Is it necessary to take bath before swimming?
If a person is fairly dirty (for example, covered in mud) then they should clean themselves off before swimming, as a courtesy to the pool maintainers. Dirt gets into the pool filters, so the less dirt in the water, the longer the filters are operational. Otherwise, that is why they get chlorinated. It is better to have the bath or shower after swimming, though.
