Usually I put conditioner on my hair prior to jumping in the water. However, there are shampoos and conditioners specifically for swimmers. I have seen them at the  health food store, if you are interested.  
 
Have fun!

I remember my friends braiding their hair down, but i usually just "wore" mine in.  Looks fine until it starts to dry anyway. LOL

Well let me just say this may be a rather long.  I've been a swimmer for quite some time,and I've dealt with the improper care of my hair with chlorine and such;its no joke.  Well for starters, you may want to just braid your hair down(3 strands), in a few sections, maybe 4-6 braids,or cornrows.  You may want to use a swimming cap to protect your hair from sun, and less exposure to the chlorine. You need to rinse your hair in the shower before you get in...your hair will soak up less chlorine if you do.  I always apply a leave in, typically,a spray on,after that...then you're ready to swim. Now once you get out, you have to wash your hair using a clarifier, not a NEUTRALIZING SHAMPOO.  Some ladies do that but it's over drying.  Once you clarify, wash as normal with a moisturizing poo  and con,and to be on the safe side, DEEP condition.  I think that's about it...HTHEmbarrassed

I normally just put a little conditioner in my hair and put it in a bun. It seems to work well for me.
