Get the chlorine smell outta me!!

ah ha! so that's why I've not managed to get a girlfriend for so many years :P I might sound like an idiot, but I thought swim caps do a nice job of keeping the smell out of the hair? At least it was MUCH better with the swim cap...no "dried up like some twig" hair... About the smell on the skin, my theory is that no amount of washing will get rid of the chlorine smell, because the smells is "smart", in that once you manage to remove a part of it by water, the skin and water sorta form a "protective layer" so no more chlorine gets washed away (same but in reverse of the theory of how some ppl thinks showering beforehands limits chlorine absorption)... But, everytime after we dried off, sat around, and got wet again (sweat...etc), the chlorine rushes out like some hungry hounds! So, my theory is, if we can somehow trick our skin (or that evil chlorine molecules, forgive my poor chemistry) into thinking that we've stopped trying to force the smell out, and then WHAM! we go at it again, maybe it'll work! Magnificent! (oh, now I see why I don't have a girlfriend ;p) But seriously, have anyone tried using dry sauna as a way of chlorine removal? Granted it cannot be a chlorine-smelling sauna... Reason being that our sweat comes from within, which is very different because it forces our sweat glands to open up, AND sweat goes from inside out, instead of the other way around... So, go into a sauna, sweat, dry off (or even wash off, then dry), sweat more, repeat until smell goes away? Anyone tried this? Granted this is not a everyday thing that you'd go through... It's just for one of those emergency and extremely rare situations where one'd really like to pretend one's not a swimmer... :) I've been experimenting, but have yet to be able to form a satisfactory conclusion (basically, it hasn't worked the way I wanted it to :P), since my sauna smells like the pool... :P
