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 have always showered before swimming, used to swim a lot at a pool where it was strictly enforced and just got into the habit. Imagine if everyone rinsed off their lotions and hair products before entering the pool, it would stay cleaner. It also makes getting into the water a little easier because I am already wet.
