Thought of this while reading the "Swim Rant" thread. Okay-- totally anonymous poll: do you shower before getting in the pool for swim practice?

  • I've always heard that just rinsing off all the lotion, conditioner, deodorant, and what-have-you helps water stay clearer and helps keep pH levels more stable. I don't know if that's true though. I always shower before going into the pool at the Y because that's the rule. But at home - I just hops in!
