I was just wondering what others do for their chlorine damaged hair. My daughter has beautiful hair that is just getting damaged to the point that it is unmanageable. She goes swimming while I work out, three times a week and won't wear her cap. It looks great when I brush it but by the time we get to school it looks wild. I have joke with the teachers at the school about how crazy her hair can get.

Coming from experience -- I too took a long time to wear my cap, finally gave in on October (and I'm 25!!) the best thing I found to get my hair back in shape (aside from the obligatory haircut) is coconut oil. Wet her hair before the pool and spread some coconut oil on it. Oil is much more resistant to the chlorine than conditioner, and coconut oil is great for the hair (just make sure to wash it all out after swimming!)
