Hello, I am fairly new to swimming. Picked it up last semester, been swimming for about 7 months now. I can swim about 1500m now in succession and I've noticed my prolonged duration in the pool at my campus rec burns the living hell out of my skin.
Does anyone know of any products I can apply to my skin preswim in order to lessen the potential burn from prolonged exposure?
Thank you for your time!

Try DermaSwim Pro. It's a pre-swim lotion and blocks the chlorine from leaching into the skin. I swim in various pools but there is 1 indoor pool that is very heavily chlorinated. Before I got this lotion, I would suffer from the effects for at least 24 hours after swimming in this pool. The only drawback is that it's pretty hard to get off and even after a shower, I can smell & feel the lotion lingering on my skin. But the smell isn't that strong and it's better than the strong chemical smell & severely dry/itchy skin. I haven't tried putting it on my face because my facial skin is very sensitive.
