How bad is chlorine to your skin? Like from swimming and stuff? Look at details?

Question

I went swimming yesterday (i usuall dont swim often..been a long time since I've been to the beach and lake and a pool..like very very long time)

but yesterday, i went to my friends house and swam (I looked retarded in the beginning trying to swim since its been a long time) but he told me to take a shower when i got home to get rid of chlorine or it will make me feel dizzy later. I took a shower last night after i got back but this morning..i felt pretty sick. I just went swimming a couple hours ago and i just got back and took a shower and hopefully i dont feel bad tomorrow morning but yea, how bad is chlorine to your skin?? Like, how will it affect u? Will it get more serious that just making u feel a little dizzy after swimming like say make u throw up or feel really sick where u cant do anything for a couple days? Thanks.

Answer 1

thats really strange

ive never heard of anyone suffering from nausea due to chlorine

anyway, chlorine dries you skin out so its good to take a show after swimming to rinse off the chlorine, also using a hydrating shower cream/gel will help to get rid of the smell and help hydrate you skin

dry you body and finish my applying a moisturiser

Answer 2

No it's not that bad sometimes if you swim with you're eyes open it well make you're blurry fuzzy but honestly ive never heard of anyone getting dizzy from pool water.
