Daily Skin and Hair Routine for Squad Swimmers

Squad swimmers don't get an off-season. Training several times a week, every week, means skin and hair rarely get a break to recover between sessions — so the routine that actually works isn't a seasonal reset, it's one that holds up daily.

Why daily training is harder on skin and hair than casual swimming

A once-a-week or occasional swimmer's skin has days to rebuild its natural barrier before the next exposure. Squad training doesn't allow for that. Each session adds to the last before skin and hair have properly recovered, which is why regular squad swimmers tend to notice dryness, itching, and hair damage more than casual pool-goers.

Swim bag essentials for squad training

Keep SWIM BALM (mess-free, easy to carry) for before sessions, and SWIM SKIN and SWIM HAIR for straight after — in the swim bag itself, not at home. That's what makes the after-swim step actually happen on the way out the door, rather than getting skipped.

Making it a habit, not an extra step

Because squad training is ongoing, consistency matters more than any single application. Apply SWIM BALM or SWIM OIL before every session, and spray SWIM SKIN and SWIM HAIR the moment training ends — before getting in the car, before school or work — every session, not just some.

Heavier training weeks

Weeks with extra sessions or a meet add up faster than normal training weeks. A full application of SWIM OIL that evening is worth it on those weeks, on top of the usual before/after routine.

FAQ

Do I need a different routine for squad training versus casual swimming?

Yes — regular training doesn't give skin and hair time to recover between sessions the way occasional swimming does, so the after-swim step matters every single time, not just sometimes.

Is a shower still part of the routine?

Not for the products to work — SWIM OIL, BALM, SKIN and HAIR are all designed to neutralise and restore without one, so the routine fits in before getting back in the car or heading to school or work.
