SURE! U must take a good shower after swimming. If don't do so, your hair will be very damaged as the chlorine in the pool is bad for your hair. I always put twice shampoo on my hair, to ensure my hair is thoroughly cleaned from chlorine.
U can imagine how many people have swimmed in the ppol before.. There were kids pee in the pool.. People spit in the pool.. People after sweating jump into the pool.. No need to give more example le right?

It's ALWAYS a wise idea to shower good after taking a swim in a pool--regardless of how clean the water appears.
The pool water can look crystal pure clean--and STILL have harmful bacteria doing the backstroke right along with you--and they're much better swimmers, too.

You don't have to, but you should. The chlorine in the pool will really dry out your skin and hair, not to mention turning your hair greenish if you're a blond. There are tons of bacteria in the pool, but if you can smell the chlorine in the pool, usually the bacteria's not alive anymore.

Should should definetly take a shower.. not only because leaving the chlorine will make you itch.. but because you sweat, and the water is never clean water..
Sometimes you get lazy and not shower, but you really should..and besides.. you dont want to be the chlorine smelling kid in the class ( like I was for many years )

You take a shower after swimming to keep the chlorine from doing any extra damage to your skin!

yea i think u should because a used to work at a pool and even though there are chemicals to kill the bacteria, they dont always do so. Despite all the efforts to keep the pool clean, everyday when we checked there would still be a whole bunch of crap in the water.

Well, think of it this way: People are in the water, so that means urine, skin flakes, bacteria, bodily fluids.......and if it's a pool, chlorine. If it's in the ocean, more bacteria, all the people stuff, and urine and feces from aquatic life.
Yes, you should always shower after swimming.
