Chlorine affects everything but there are some good antichlorine shampoos out there. If you bleach make sure you use one every time after you swim. You can also run an anti-chlorine conditioner through your hair and put a cap on before you swim and that will help. Bleaching runs the risk of brittle hair without the added element of chlorine. Chlorine plus bleaching can also result in a green tint or a plastic barbie doll look over time. Let a professional do the bleaching for you and make sure they know how much you swim. Also take very good care of your hair and don't do lots of other damaging things to it-blow drying, curling irons, perms, etc.
