I put coconut oil in my hair before I get in chlorine pools and it makes a huge difference in the moisture not being stripped out of my hair. Smiley Happy

It is not very likely someone is going to change their pool to a salt water pool

 

nor that an 11 year old would wear a bathing cap!!

Changing to a salt-water system would be extremely expensive.  You could go to a "low chlorine" system that attaches to your existing pump/filter system.  There are 2 that I know of, Aqua Smarte and King Technology Pool Frog.  I know the Pool Frog makes a system for in-ground pools as well as on-ground pools.

 

These systems use a mineral based system to help keep the water clean and sanitary that works in combination with chlorine "back packs" that load into the system.    You use much lower amounts of chlorine which is easier on the hair and skin and the water stays clean, clear and well balanced.

 

ETA - Amazon has tons of really cute swim caps!

 


My kids swim a lot and I use the trouble free pool method and their hair is always in great shape. Please don't use mineral packs or any of that stuff. It adds tons of garbage your pool doesn't need.

 

Google trouble free pool. It is very economical and you only add stuff your pool actually needs and everyone who comes to house house comments on how great my pool is. My family is pool snobs and won't swim anywhere else. My pool company always tells me I could be the poster child for a perfect pool but they don't sell me any chemicals so they don't make any money off me. 


@ChrissyKR - I first posted a thanks, but my pool is fine....then I went ahead and googled as you suggested!  Wow.  Thanks for the heads up.

  Your welcome! In three years of owning a pool I have never had an algae outbreak and my pool always looks crystal clear. You can stand on my diving board and see the main drain screws are phillips head nine feet deep.

 

So far this year I have spent less than $50.00 on my pool (I open my pool in March)  using this method. The only time I need to my pool company is to open/close or if I have an equiptment issue.  I have stepped into a pool store one time and that was to pick up some paperwork.
