3)germs

4)skin will dry out

5)hair gets nasty

6)the smell

Answer 6

If it's a public pool, you want your body, your hair and your swim suit to be free of chlorine.  You actually should put your swim suit in the washing machine and get the chlorine out so it will last longer.

If it's a lake or pond, who knows what's in the water, so that's the reason.

If it's your very own swimming pool, and you don't use chlorine, you are free to skip the shower.

Answer 7

a swimming pool is a giant toilet plus the chemicals

Answer 8

because the chlorine can dry out your skin, and there are many, many germs in a swimming pool.

Not only your skin, but it also dries out your hair.

Answer 14

several reasons:

-to get the chlorine out of your hair, especially if you're a girl. chlorine can damage your hair so fast!!

-so your skin doesn't get dried out (as quickly)

-it's better for your swimsuits if you rinse them out in shower water too.. it helps your suits last longer.

Answer 15

Chlorine and salt, as mentioned, do a wicked number on your skin and hair.  If you are in a swimming pool environment, the water may wash some of the sweat, lotion and dirt from your skin, but it's doing that to everyone else, as well.  I won't get into babies and what may or may not be in their swim diapers.

When you take a bath (aside from the fact that you use soap in a bath and not in a pool), do you leave the water in and re-use it over and over again?

The water in the pool is not fresh or clean, which is why they add chemicals to, basically, disinfect it.

Answer 16

Because kids pee in the water. <}:-})
