SWIMMERS.... need advice!

i was on swim team for a lot of my life and got really good at it.... i'm just now getting back into swimming on a regular basis 🙂

there are some things i have never been able to resolve:

1. do those "swimmer's shampoos" really work? do you notice a diff between normal shampoo and swimmer's shampoo? any brand recommendations?
2. i swim with trunks (i figure it's like running with weights 😛) any advice on how to transport it when it's wet? right now i'm just using plastic bags from the grocery store
3. how do you get the smell of chlorine out of your skin? whenever i wash my hands or face, i smell chlorine...
4. do chicks dig the chlorine smell? or is it a turn off? on one hand... it indicates you exercise.... on the other... it's chlorine....

thanks 🙂

Ok, seriously...

1. I have no clue.
2. I'm sure you can 'transport' your trunks in your backpack or whatever you bring with you to the pool. If you're bringing a change of clothes, just wring your trunks out. Good nylon ones won't stay sopping wet.
3. Take a shower with soap? That's what I've always done...
4. They LOVE it! 😀 No dude, not that I can think of- chlorine is repulsive to even aquatic creatures.
