Im currently going through the same thing right now.. Theres a pool in my apartment complex and Ive been going in everyday and usually not showering right away.. And for some reson, I'm assumiong because of the chlorine, my arms are discoloring.. And its not going away:( you should shower cuz this sucks!Health Question & Answer

Well, you can only get pee on you if there is not enough clorine in the pool.. The clorine kills it.. Anyway, it is bad for your skin and hair.. If there is alot of clorine it can make some people get a rash.. I would at least rinse off next time..Health Question & Answer

maybe once is okay, but dont make it a habit.. usually i shower right after swimming but once i waited a couple of hours.. i got used to it so i didnt even want to take one but especially dont if the chlorine is bothering you..Health Question & Answer

you won't get sick, but it is kind of gross..
Logically, the chemicals kill bacteria and what not, but still, I would shower next time..Health Question & Answer

uhm.. i own a pool and i swim at midnight almost every night.. i've never been sick.. this has been going on for about 10+ years.. so i don't think you're going to get sick........

though i suppose anything's possible...?Health Question & Answer

keep in mind that the "stuff" that you mentioned is probably urine.. Think about that next time that you dont want to shower after you swim.. Do you really want to go to bed with someone's pee on you.?!

gross......Health Question & Answer

Probably not but you really need to get the chlorine off of you.. Next time, try at least rinsing off with a water hose afterwards.. The chlorine will dry your hair and skin out..Health Question & Answer

you wont get sick, but its good to shower after because its bad for your skin.... and lets be real pools arent the cleanest places haha.... you'll be fine if you shower like the next day or something =]Health Question & Answer
