A quick shower before swimming helps wash away sweat, dirt, body oils and personal-care products. Without it, these substances end up in the pool and can affect water quality.
It takes only a minute and helps keep the shared water cleaner.
A good pool experience is not just about knowing how to swim. Small choices, from respecting other swimmers to maintaining basic hygiene, can make the difference between an enjoyable outing and an unpleasant one.
