Swimmers: Shampoo & Soap to get Chlorine Out?

[Kelemvor]

Anyone here that might be a swimmer.... What do you use to get the chlorine off you when you're done swimming in a nice chlorine filled pool? The only shampoo I know of is Ultra Swim which I used many years ago in High School. Is that still the main brand to use? Are there any others?

And what about soap? My wife has a bar of what she sas is Ultra Swim Soap that she's had for years and years. Do they make this stuff? I haven't been able to find it online at all. Is there any other soap that works for chlorine?

Thanks.

Paul Mitchell Aloe-Rid may be your friend. It came out after my time. We added aquarium declorinator to our shampoo, but we had a straight supply from the chem. lab (phenol...something).

If you quit wiping your nose like that, your hair wouldn't be green.

My dad uses some anti-chlorine shampoo he got at the drugstore and I think it works pretty good.

my barber keeps saying something about baking soda once a week (put it in your shampoo) or something like that.... i never really listened ... i'm too lazy to put stuff in my shampoo

Phenolphtalein, maybe...I seem to remember reading that on a bottle of dechlorinator I had and thinking it was kind of odd. That stuff can be an irritant and it also might be carcinogenic, so it's not the be best thing to be putting on your scalp....

If that's even what it is

eh .. i swam for 12+ years and worked in the pool up to last June ..

the chlorine on your skin is terrible. The only EFFECTIVE way i found .. sit in a steam room and let it sweat out.

Err... It is Nexus AloeRid, not Paul Mitchell.

I usually use 10W30, works great for the lubrication.

it's been a long time since I was into swimming - but ultraswim used to be great.
