Something I didn’t know: Why divers shower right after dive!?

Showering right after dive

I’ve always wondered why divers shower right after their dive, and thought it was because they want to keep warm or rinse of the cholorine. After reading Yahoo’s news, I found out that my first guess was half accurate.

Yes, they do rinse to warm up! But why? well, the reason is to keep their muscles warm after getting out of the pool. The temperature of the pool water and the air are usually different (the pool is usually around 80 degrees, with the air temperature between 68 and 72 degrees). This difference can cause muscle tightness. To combat this, divers warm up in either the showers or a hot tub.

Now you’ve learned something!
