Question
why do the olympic divers get into the showers after every dive Join or Log In to answer.
Divers shower in warm water to keep their muscles warm and loose. This is also why gymnasts put on warm-ups, or pants and jackets, after each event.

Showers also wash off chemicals that can build up on swimmer's bodies. Some swimmers believe the build up of pool chemicals on their body can also add drag while in the water. sources from nbcactionnews.com
