In summer also pools expect swimmers to first take shower and then swim.

True some folks don't have the patience when they see water they just think of jumping in

At a gym we used to belong to, they required everyone to shower before entering the pool. I was told that they want people to wash off (sweat, dirt, whatever else) first to keep the pool as clean as possible.

That is the reason since people have different forms of dirt, sweat and showering first helps remove the dirt

@Laurakemunto Right - and I guess they say so they can use the least amount of chemicals for the pool . . . keep it healthy as possible for everyone since it is for public use.

thanks Much to say, another reason is the body temperature has to match the water temperature. So if the shower is taken already body is cooled out and then entering the water is easy

I always shower before hitting the pool. I think that’s the reason why pools always have a shower next to it. When my son started learning swimming, they were required iced to shower first before hitting the pool. So it has also become a habit for him.

A good gesture though so that the body can acclamatize

It's also the same protocol here. In addition, they require the people to wear swimming suits for women or girls and swimming trunks for men or boys in the swimming pool.
