Thanks so much! Im gonna go buy a swim cap now

Also wet your hair before you get in the pool (with or without a cap/with or without conditioner).
The water will "fill up" the hair making it harder for the chlorine to penetrate into the hair.
Rinse as soon as you get out of the pool. Hot water is best as it keeps the cuticle open and the water pressure will force out the chlorine but even cold water is better than not rinsing at all
Chlorine affects all hair adversely...it's especially icky since it just "keeps on giving" (keeps damaging and builds upon itself no matter how much time has passed between swimming)
Other products:
Grund Cleanse Daily Shampoo
Grund Smooth Leave-In Conditioner (a spray that is chlorine/mineral blocker, spf, and some other things i can't remember right now LOL)
Malibu 2000 Swimmer's Action Shampoo/Conditioner
Malibu 2000 also makes some "boosters" that you can add to shampoo
Malibu 2000 treatments - the original is specifically for chlorine and other minerals (this might only be available as a salon service)
The Malibu 2000 line might be the same as the Ion line
