swimming with braids

what I really want to know is about braids and swimming.

I am getting my own hair braided, no extensions...short braids!

If i go in the pool, then come out and shampoo / condition, will all the chlorine come out? Or will some still be trapped inside the braid? what's the best way to get all those nooks and crannies inside of braids?

Ewww, that's a toughy. I personally wouldn't go swimming with braids, I'd be afraid no amount of shampoo could remove the chlorine...but that's just me.

thanks blondie!
