Do you take a shower after you swim? (hackertalks.com)

If you swim in a pool that's correctly chlorinated, is it necessary from your perspective to shower after you get out of the pool?

Yes. To get the chlorine or salt off my skin.

Never swam in a freshwater lake. But I think I probably still would.

Freshwater lakes are quite nice to swim in and get out without showering. Skin can feel a little more coarse than when you get out of a bot bath, but still not uncomfortable enough by itself to warrant a shower. But if you have medium to long hair, you'd definitely want hot water and maybe soap/shampoo to untangle and unbunch it to feel comfortable.
