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 Lump!
Oh yeah that was my assumption exactly ... :shakeshead:
I'm glad your girlfriend hasn't noticed you smelling like chlorine that certainly means you wouldn't if you licked your skin :dunno:
I am not assuming you are a liar or wrong I just don't know anyone else that swims that much that doesn't at least have a faint chlorine odor if they start sweating or lick their skin. Maybe your pool composition or body chemistry make it so you don't.
Most people on here are very nice and friendly ... don't assume they are :dedhorse:
Well, if you weren't assuming I was wrong, then I apologize. However, when I say I don't smell like chlorine, and you respond with "if you swim 6-7 days a week, guess what, you smell like chlorine" it's hard to take it any other way.
I literally just licked my skin after walking 10 minutes in the sun in a black t-shirt and jeans, and nothing. So, I guess my skin or the two pools I swim in are different than yours.
By the way, if I come off as abrasive or something, don't take it that way. It might just be the phrasing I use when I type, but it's very rare that I'm even mildly upset on an internet forum.
Thanks Lump!
