If you swim in a pool that's correctly chlorinated, is it necessary from your perspective to shower after you get out of the pool?

Yes, no chlorine or saltwater but still residue there. However, if I was camping, I'd use sea or lakes to wash. If its a pleasure swim with facilities available, I'd always shower, or at least rinse off.

With chlorine I'll tend to wash my hair twice as its quite damaging and when home I'll use a cleansing shampoo (they help remove chlorine).

vitamin c deactivates chlorine.
