Contrary to popular belief, divers do not shower between each dive because of bacteria. Divers shower in warm water (or even soak in a hot tub) to keep their muscles warm and loose. This is also why gymnasts put on warm-ups, or pants and jackets, after each event. Some divers believe that if they go into the water while wet they can enter with a smaller splash, however most dry off with a towel.

It depends I am a swimmer and I always take a shower after swimming as the chlorine in the water can make your skin dry and smell however some swimmers and diver will take a show to prepare for a dive or race. Really it is a personal preference.

Pool water is treated with chemicals to make it safe to swim in (young children frequently relieve themselves in the pool). The chemical are not good for the skin and therfore pool users should shower BEFORE (to go in clean) and AFTER (to wash of the chemicals) they use the pool.

After swimming, there will be chlorine on your skin. Many people prefer to shower right after getting out to get the chlorine off of their skin, so that it doesn't dry out their skin.

Why do swimmers and diver take shower after they get out of the water?

They take a shower because their skin could dry out. Pool water is chemically treated, and these chemicals leave a residue on the skin which can damage it if not removed. Also, swimmers in particular sweat quite a bit while racing or practicing. That may be counterintuitive, but its no different than any other heavy exertion sport in that respect. This sweat leaves some residue also, even though the person was immersed in water. A quick rubdown in the shower (usually with soap) eliminates this sweaty residue.
