I'd say that no matter what swimming does to your skin the physiological and psychological effects you will obtain from a regular swimming program will far outweigh the effects on your skin. Try this: **Rinse after sswimming; only use soap every 3rd time. **Shampoo 1X per week. Rinse and use conditioner only after the rest of your swims. **Use CeraVe lotion liberally all over your body after each shower; it works. You can buy it for a decent price at your local drug store. **If you're swimming outside USE SUNSCREEN with at least 30 SPF! :angel: Enjoy! Swimming is good for the mind, body, and soul!

I think that's really hard to say. What are you swimming in? A Pool? Open Water? Salty Open Water? Further more - If you're outside a lot - then you're also dealing with magnified sun! :afraid: Which is supposed to be terrible on the skin right? Honestly - give me a few more years and I'll let you know! ;-) However - I will say some of the older swimmers I know - all look much younger than they are because they've maintained a healthy lifestyle through swimming! (which is another can of worms)
