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.

I use a product called Rusk "Smoother" leave-in conditioner after swimming. You only need a little dab, and it has lots of good things in it (including sunscreen) and cuts down on the frizzies. The down side is that it's only available in salons and can seem expensive (I buy the liters when they go on sale, and a liter bottle can last me over a year).
When I was a kid and swam constantly (at least once a day), the only real solution to the hair problem was to keep it cut short. Anything else wouldn't work until I was old enough to appreciate the work that goes into keeping your hair healthy while swimming.
