Okay, you’re out of the pool. The first thing your brain says is “shower later.” But that’s a trap. Rinse immediately with fresh water, even if you don’t soap up yet.
Why? Because the chlorine is still sitting on your skin, doing its dry-out dance. A quick, 30-second rinse removes about half of that chemical layer instantly. It’s not a full fix, but it buys you time.
Think of it as wiping the mud off your boots before you walk inside. It makes the deep clean way easier.
