Chlorine Smell After Swimming

My OH swims everyday, and everyday he moans about the lingering chlorine smell which sometimes lasts all day. We've tried all the usual brands of shower gel and he says he scrubs and scrubs in the shower after his swim. But nothing seems to work.

Is there a solution to this does anyone know, a shower gel that they know works?

Thanks for any replies :)

I think it might be remnants in his olfactory system rather than on the body.

Do they still sell anti-chlorine shower gel? I used to use that and it was OK. I think it was called Ultraswim but Boots did one too.

Zac, I'd agree with you except I can smell it as well, even as late as bedtime after he's been swimming in the morning

Thanks for that SJ, the reviews for it aren't great but I'm willing get him to give it a whirl, just incase it works for him. Fingers crossed!

Try using SwimSpray. Chlorine chemically binds to skin, so scrubbing can only get him so far. The antioxidants in SwimSpray neutralize the chemical bonds, which will help remove the chlorine far more effectively.
