I usually apply a generous amount of extra virgin olive oil on my ends and throughout my hair. Obviously you have to shampoo after that though. If it feels weird, you may need to shampoo twice. Than I usually apply conditioner for 10 mins on the ends of my hair, wash it out and then apply a moisturizing detangler to my hair. Feels like 'brand new' after haha :) Hope this helped.
here's a tip that works really great for me..
use leave in conditioner on your hair before jumping in the pool
that way your hair won't absorb so much of the pool water
and reduces damage.
Before swimming rinse your hair under regular tap water. This keeps the chlorine from fully pentrating your hair then use a leave in conditioner. My bestie who has fine blond hair swears by this method...keeps her hair from looking green and feeling like hay.
I know it sounds weird but i have heard that applying full fat mayonnaise to your hair is meant to be great to deeply condition your hair. Hope this helps:)
I 'm on my school's swim team so I've tried a bunch of strategies and I agree with shelley, rinse first. Also, I know it's not totally desirable to use a clarifying shampoo when the chlorine has already dried it out so much, but that is the only way to really get it out, just be sure to deep condition afterwards.

I dont know where your from but theres a product in the US called ultra swim. I used to be on a swim team when I was younger and they sold it through speedo company where we got our bathing suits. It gets the clorine out with out stripping your hair it doesnt dry it out at all if you cant find this which i am sure they probably have it online some where to order you can try conditioning washing just wash your hair with conditionor and water but if your hair gets oily fash youll have to shampoo again the next day
A clarifying shampoo anytime you get outta the pool and a good conditioner.at work we reccomend it to all of our clients who swim in pool. There are a lot of companies who sell clarifying shampoos and it will saying "Clarifying" on it!
Use a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner. I always put condition on all over my hair BEFORE going in the pool, this helps acting as a barrier from the chlorine.
