Arriving at my morning swim, 45 minutes later than normal, I walked into the locker room to find an older gentleman who "fins" nearly everyday at the same time as I swim. "You done already?" he asks. "No, just running late today, but decided to come anyway." With that I disrobed, grabbed my towel and suit and headed for the shower. "Whoa, are you going to take a shower BEFORE you swim?" "Yes.""Ha ha ha, thats the craziest thing I ever heard of, why I NEVER take a shower BEFORE I swim, why are you doing that?" Not wanting to be rude and point out the three signs that say you must shower before swimming, I mearly pointed out that by getting ones hair wet before swimming made for better hair condition at end of swim. "Oh, I dont have that problem" as he rubbed his bald head. ....Sigh
