If I take a shower at home and go directly to the gym, but do not perform any type of exercise after my shower or upon arrival at the gym, do I still need to take a shower at the gym prior to entering the pool?

If I take a shower at home and go directly to the gym, but do not perform any type of exercise after my shower or upon arrival at the gym, do I still need to take a shower at the gym prior to entering the pool?

Answer:

No - probably not necessary to shower again. However, do consider the example that you are setting. Perhaps a quick rinse even would send the right message.
