Clothing for a trip to the swimming pool

Short answer: For the pool it is the towel and what you put on afterwards that count. A towel that absorbs quickly and dry underwear are what make the trip comfortable.

The towel

A towel that absorbs quickly means you are dry before you get dressed. See bamboo towels.

Dry underwear afterwards

Pulling clothes over damp skin is the most common reason for feeling cold afterwards. Dry yourself properly. See bamboo underwear for women.

An extra pair of socks

Your feet get wet in the changing room. An extra pair saves the trip home. See all bamboo socks for women.

Loose clothing afterwards

Clothing that has to be pulled over damp skin is easier if it is loose. See sweat clothing.

Hang the towel out

A towel left in the bag smells the same evening. Hang it spread out at home. See washing and care.
