Hi all,
I've been a runner for a long time, and have recently taken up swimming as a cross-trainer. I'm enjoying it more than I thought I would, but I have a couple of petty questions.
The chlorine is really rough on my skin. I'm wondering if there are any product(s) out there that anyone could recommend, or should I just go with any moisterizer?
2) I have a basic swim cap (Speedo). It said one-size-fits-all, but I have very thick hair and I have a hard time getting all of my hair up under it. It also slides up when I'm swimming. Is there another brand or style that I might have better luck with, and where would I pick one up?
Sorry if these questions seem trivial, but I don't know who else to ask.
Thanks,

One good thing about getting bald is that you don't
worry about your hair very much;) ........
I've been swimming a long time, but it took me a while
to figure out that a very soapy shower after a swim takes
off a lots of the chlorine that contributes to dry skin. Also,
a lukewarm shower is better than a hot one for itchy
skin. Any generic skin moisturizer helps, especially
in the winter in the northern climates.
