Hi - I'm new to swimming. Can anyone recommend a post swim skin lotion and / or shower gel brand that both helps remove chlorine and helps with dry skin?
Also - I saw someone using a pre-swim lotion that is supposed to help fend off the chlorine, but I wasn't quick enough to ask him what it was. General google searches haven't yielded any results. Anyone know what this is and where to get it?
Thanks very much.

Thanks for the attitude. I smell like chlorine until I take a shower, but I'm nice and pretty after. My girlfriend has a sensitive nose, and she's never said anything. Either she's mysteriously being nice about it--and I don't know why she'd refrain from telling me I smell like chlorine, but not when my breath makes her want to vomit after I eat a banana--or she doesn't smell it, along with everyone else I'm around.
I don't think she intended to sound like she had attitute...relax a little. Its gonna vary from pool to pool as well...chemicals used, amounts of chemicals, length of workouts, how often you workout, etc.
I only swim MWF and sometimes Saturday (Chlorine Pool, 90 minute workouts) and I smell like a pool if I sweat or lick my skin....take it FWIW. Also I'm bald (shave my head) so no "hair issues" whatsoever! :D
