ELI5 why do Olympic divers shower after each dive wheb they are just going to dive again?

The pool is very cold. If you go from room temperature to really cold water, your muscles tend to tighten up. This is bad for divers, because they tend to need flexible and loose muscles to do what they do. A warm shower can help to relax those muscles again in anticipation of the next dive.
