Why are people required to take a soap shower before swimming?

A soap shower fulfills two basic functions. First, the Health Department requires that patrons bathe before entering a public facility to swim. Also, the cleaner the bodies are before entering the swimming the pool, the less chemicals are used to disinfect the pool water. This is both a health and an economic benefit.
