TRIHARD Advanced Swimmer's Lotion | Pre-Swim Skin Shield | Post-Swim Chlorine Moisturizing & Chlorine Removal | Olympian's Choice

A newbie swimmer here, enjoying the process of learning, loving the water, but not so much enjoying reeking of chlorine and feeling totally desiccated, even after two showers - one at the pool and another when I get home. I was starting to get an itchy rash on my lower legs and while I they were doing okay with my normal body lotion, I thought I'd give this Trihard stuff a go, even though I'm totally dubious about 'specially formulated' products with techie names on (often an excuse to charge an exorbitant price). Well, this is actually really lovely stuff! I only got it today and have only put it on my arms and legs so far, but they feel sooo silky smooth. I can't quite put my finger on what the fragrance is, but it's pleasant and fresh and not overpowering and, hey presto, I don't smell like a chemical plant. The only negative thing I'd say about it is that, as someone who is now going to the pool 4 times a week, I imagine I'll use this 100ml tube up pretty quickly. It's just about the size of an average tube of hand cream, when the ideal size for me would be about a litre, I reckon, LOL! It could get very pricey pretty quickly if I were to use it all over my body, and I'm not inclined to put it on pre-swim as the tube suggests, only for it to be washed down the shower drain! Perhaps I'll just use it on my extremities and use my everyday lotion on the rest of my body. Anyway. It's good moisturiser and I'm glad I decided to splash out on it, if you'll pardon the pun. Oh, and I nearly forgot to mention... the box comes with two samples - one of the hair condition and one of the body wash. Both also very nice indeed. I only used a tiny squeeze of the body wash and it created a lovely creamy lather with a bit of a eucalyptus tingle, I think, guessing by the fragrance. I'll be adding the whole range to my shopping list, I think. Quality stuff and it certainly seems to do what it says on the tin. Now, if only I could find a solution to 'goggle eyes'...

I go swimming most days and found my skin slightly sensitive to the chlorine but since using this after swimming I have no more problems will definitely use this again

I brought this for my son who suffers from eczema which is exasperated from swimming/chlorine. We have just spent the weekend in a lodge with a hot tub and as he’s a water baby he was in and out of it non stop! This product didn’t stop flare ups, his skin isn’t great currently but it did help in the respect his skin didn’t flare up until about the 4th dip in the hot tub. It’s better than using no cream at all, it smells good and applies lovely and not greasy. Unfortunately it’s quite expensive, we’ve used half a tub over the weekend but I would still buy it again as anything that helps him is good enough for me

A great cream

It does work if you are someone who suffers from itching after swimming but you have to put in on before and after as the name suggests and it therefore gets a bit pricey.

Been using a while now and a bottle goes a long way. Most people only have flare ups in certain places so put it there! Feels silky under water so you know the barriers there. Just try a bit on your skin before you shower and you’ll see what I mean when you touch your skin under water. It does work and is worth the money. I swim every week several times without any problems.

It feels nice on the skin and smells pretty good. I have been using it before and after my swims 4/5 times weekly, in a chlorinated pool. I am unconvinced that it has helped my itchy skin over and above other skin moisturisers. I bought two, but as it is expensive I do not think I will continue to purchase.

Works really well as a pre-swim lotion and as a post-swim moisturiser. I found my skin was less affected by chlorine when I applied it before aqua aerobics; it was less dry and itchy. When I didn’t have time to apply it beforehand, using it afterwards helped to neutralise the chlorine smell and keep my skin soft and smooth. Long lasting as you don’t need to use loads. A bit expensive though.
