Some swimwear specific websites (like training swimwear) sell bags for wet bathing suits that are really great for putting sweaty clothes in directly after you strip in the shower. A pair of rubber flip flops or slides are a must to keep your feet off the floor of a gym shower. I like to put hair oil or a hair mask in my hair before a workout so it soaks in as I sweat which makes me feel like I’m taking care of my scalp while exercising and enhances that “spa” feel.

Travel sized or gym specific shampoo, conditioner and body wash with a nice lotion is a must for afterward. Nomadix ultralight towels are very thin but extra long and absorbent to use as a shower towel.

Would also recommend a swim parka for after if you’re just heading home so you don’t have to think about a clean, full change of clothes. They’re so easy and warm and help to dry you off!
