ok so I have been swimming 5-7 hours a day for about a week. Lately my skin has been so itchy; in fact, I think I'm going to die.
Anyone have any suggestions on how to get rid of this chlorine-itch |

um, make sure you take a shower like right after you get out of the pool and use lots of soap. And uh, moisturize.

Ehhg, I know how you feel. My skin gets so itchy with swim team.
Use a loofa (sp?) when you shower, and soap it up. Make sure it's glycerine soap (Bath & Body sells it cheap). That should do it. Bet you're tired; I know EXACTLY how you feel. |

Use moisturizing body wash.
Mind if I ask why you've been swimming 5-7 hours? |

The Chlorine is probably irritating you.
 As someone mentioned before, just make sure you take a good shower after the swim. (Use Dove soap, it'll keep your moisturized.)

I don't understand how you can spend quite so much time in the pool even if you are on the swim team...
But yeah. A lot of moisturizer. Moisturizing soap, lotion, and I'd recommend shampoo too, as you don't want your hair to be gross. |

Yeah, no way would I be in the pool for that long. Holy crap. Make sure you moisturize. I'd probably prune up and waste away to a raison if I was in the pool for that long.

wtf? 5-7 hours? okay I swim for school and for team, and I know that NEITHER teams would want anyone swimming > 4 hours a day. 2 hours morning practice, 2 hours after school is ENOUGH. If you're doing a good enough workout, there's no need to swim that many hours.
and LOL maybe you have chlorine-induced eczema! kidding, just moisturize. and honestly, you don't need to spend more than 4 hours in the pool if you're a serious swimmer. LOL 7 HOURS? |

Jump in the shower afterwards and then put some lotion on.

Which isn't bad, but the problem... how much of it are they using. |
