Do you swimmers shower to stay warm after a swim?

Question

I do. So do Olympic swimmers. Showers maintain the temperature. Colder air can weaken the muscles.

Most swimmers want to wash off the chlorine though.

Answer 1

yes, but not to stay warm, i shower to get off all the chlorine

and to stay warm, i warm down after my race, which is better for the muscles for to heal rather than sitting there, and i put a deck coat on

Answer 2

yes i have, however i like chlorine...guess i am weird???

Answer 3

I'm a swimmer 2! And i don't but i should do it more often. I did here that it can weaken your muscles, but it's only temporary. Although it could affect your next race at a swim meet. Thanks for reminding me! I know it will be helpful in the new season :)
