Best shampoo for swimmers?

I've got highlighted fine shoulder length hair. I'm going to try and start swimmign regularly. Whenever I've done this before my hair has been left in very bad condition.

What is a good shampoo for getting all of the chlorine out? I've used the Boots one in the past but didn't rate it much. Any suggestions?

I swim a couple of times a week and really rate Wella Purify. It's not a swimmers' shampoo as such, but it is supposed to strip out product build up and I find it works well for chlorine. My hairdresser is always surprised when I tell her I swim.

Wella shampoo on Amazon

It's also good to wet your hair first in the shower to saturate it with clean water rather than chlorine water- so I'm told!

A build up remover shampoo sounds like a good idea. Thank you. I'll also try the wetting approach.

I've been using my big hair too much and my hair is in a bad way. Can't let it get any worse!

I'm in a triathlon club and everyone apart from me uses Australian Formula shampoo and conditioner after swimming. I just use whatever's been on special in Boots. But I do always use a good quality conditioner.
