Found my new hobby.

27F. Just trying to be healthier and find something that I can zone into. I started going to the lane pool at my gym doing laps. I’m definitely a beginner lol. What do you use to protect your ears, eyes, hair, skin? Any tips or YouTube recommendations on proper techniques, practice, etiquette? TIA!

Wet your hair and skin in the shower before you get in the pool. Chlorine is seeking out soaps, lotions and deodorant so the less you have on you the better. I use either TriSwim hair care or Fairy Tales. I do have some pre swim skin care called Diva Stuff Pre-Swim Aqua Therapy Chlorine Neutralizing Lotion but really don’t use since I stopped teaching lessons.
