What do I need to leave the pool without getting dried and dressed again?

The gaps between ceiling and floor are minimal.

If I'm there alone (normal for me because I'm autistic and hate people) and I black out (also normal for me) and smack my head on the way to the floor, no one will realise I'm in there until the pool staff come to hose the floor at the end of the day, and the lack of a gap means that the door won't open easily over my unconscious or dead body. Cubicles with a small or no gap are extremely dangerous for epileptics, fainters, and anyone else prone to losing consciousness.

I’d get a teddy material jumpsuit and a dry robe

I have two of these they’re great for errands etc. absorbent if you’re a bit damp. This and a dry robe should do it.

I'm like you, I want to have a decent shower and not one where I've got to stand in my swim suit because everyone can see everything, so I literally bung on a poncho towel (which you can buy very cheaply on Amazon), stick my flip flops on and go to the car. I do stick an extra towel on the car seat to make sure it doesn't get soaked.

I find that so much easier than trying to put any form of clothing on. I do get the odd look sometimes but that's their problem, not mine.

This is exactly the same as the local authority pool where my kids do swimming. There were also 3 showers with doors but again gaps above/below door.

So give yourself a quick rub with a towel, pop loose t shirt and joggers on over the cozzie and drive home. That's what I do. Maybe with addition of fleece too.

I think it depends on the age of the pool perhaps. My local one is from the 70‘s and has separate male and female changing rooms with closed showers and space to change on benches but also quite a lot of cubicles. Only problem can be that no one puts anything in a locker they just put their bag and clothes in a changing room ready for when they get out and hang their coats on a peg in the middle of the changing room. They’ve made the lockers free now and I wonder if that’s to encourage people to use them.

I am based in England and our local council pool is pretty new- built within the last 10 years. It's exactly like this. And so are all the other nearby council pools

Why would you not just get dressed? You’ll be freezing. You don’t need to shower. Just get dry and put your clothes on?

Same here. Ireland. I stopped using the local public pool because I regularly saw males spit in the shower. Teenage boys ogle and men leer at the women in the showers, which are at the sides of the pool. Filthy changing village with gaps under and above the cubicles too.
I lived close enough to go home to shower properly. Weather depending, I just wore slip-on sandals and went commando in joggers and a big hoodie. A dry robe would be easier if you just want to leave without doing any changing.

And it goes the other way to. Dads aren't always happy letting their DD go into the ladies alone either.

They also work better for school groups teachers / parents helpers rather than having the class split between two changing rooms.

Not the point of the thread but thank you for helping me work out why the cubicles at the council pool I use have a grid over the top of the cubicle above the seat, that I always bang my arms on when getting changed.

I thought it might be a clothes/towel rack but ,sadly, it's probably necessary to stop perverts standing on the seat to look into the adjacent cubicles.

No I like it much better too. I am only naked in the privacy of a cubicle and am fine having a rinse in the shower in my costume - after all I've just been in the pool with all the men too, and the showers are completely open to the poolside with lots of hooks along the wall. So you can leave your towel and shampoo there and not worry it will get nicked.
At my council pool they run swimming lessons for about 4hrs per day every day. I was in the kids pool this morning with my DD and DS just for a swim and the number of families way outnumbered solo swimmers. So the changing village works really well as about 20% of the cubicles are "large" ones and lots of those have changing tables/playpens in. They also have 2 disabled and 2 changing places rooms. The gaps between ceiling and floor are minimal. Now I think about it, it's really well thought through for the local population.

I have this for my pool dashes. I also sometimes wear towelling trousers as well. Plus my normal light puffa jacket. I run cold, have been known to swim in a rash vest at this time of year. Plus some croc style shoes.

I refuse to shower in my municipal gym. I tend to do a workout and then go to the steam and sauna. I bring a towel which I use to rough dry after the sauna, put my smelly gym clothes on and then head home for my shower. ETA that my gym top goes on over my bikini top, I take off my bikini bottom and just pull on my leggings. Fleece goes over and then I head off.
All my clothes and towel then go immediately into the washing machine.
Probably a bit gross but I dont care.

Knock off dry robe and crocs here too it has changed swimming from being a real chore to a much more pleasant activity!
I never liked showering at the pool because the smell of chlorine just seems to linger! Changing before and after, especially getting into a bra whilst all hot and bothered and slightly damp was a nightmare.

I never shower aftwr a swim. Just chuck
on a loose top snd some leggings

I have one of these for open water swimming, I bought a L and can take my cossie off under it.

Its really thick and heavy so it warm enough to then drive home in, sometimes I throw a pair of tracksuit pants on my bottom half if it’s really cold.

I would buy a large poncho type dry robe thing. Take swim bottoms off underneath, put some cheap jogging bottoms on and slip on shoes. Go home.

You can leave swim top on under robe as you won’t be sitting on that to drive home. Then just shower and change properly at home

No I’m not suggesting you get changed.

All I did in the past is wear my towelling robe from the pool side, by the time get to the locker I’m pretty dry, I give my backside an extra pat to dry it off, keep my swimsuit on, then put on a loose dress that super easy to throw on or a pair of loose joggers and a top then my coat and flip flops.

The whole job takes less than 3 min - I perfected the operation as I didn’t want to spend any time in the disgusting changing rooms. I put my shoes on in the car. I wear flip flops from the car to the pool then get back into my shoes in my car after my swim session.
viola
hope you find a system that works for you.

Carrier bag under your bum

I do thid at an outdoor pool. The changing rooms are a bit too chilly for my liking so I throw a dry robe and crocs on and go to the car. I do have to say that because I wear swim leggings for warmth when swimming I find I need something in the car seat to protect it. Dry robe have waterproof seat covers but they are super expensive so I suspect there are cheaper options.

I use a knock off dryrobe and crocs year round!

As long as you take your cossie off under the dry robe the car won't get wet. Wrap it in a little microfibre towel and that's it. That's how I walk home after a swim in the sea. My next door neighbour offered me a lift on his quad bike once as I was walking home.. I had no pants on and I'm sure I flashed him! I couldn't think of a reason to say no.
