What to do about un-showered fragrant lane mates?

All you Y swimmers, I need some advice! Or maybe I just need to rant. Sometimes I swim at a community pool. There's a BIG sign right before you leave the locker room to "shower before entering the pool" and wouldn't ya know it...not everybody does. Invariably, I end up smalling/tasting lotion, grandpa-strength aftershave, hairspray, deoderant and what have you the whole workout. Don't these people realize what they do? How can I make them stop??? I don't understand why they don't shower. I just don't.

    I don't shower per se. I guess what I do could best be described as a quick rinse. I've never really noticed any pool stank although I do see the occasional bit of t.p. floating in the water and once saw a band aid at the bottom of the pool. My take is anything that don't kill ya will only make you stronger. :eek:
