Really stupid question about holiday swimming costumes.

[ChesterGreySideboard]

I’m off on my first ever beach / pool type holiday.
I’m not really planning on spending much time swimming in fairness but I’ve just thought of something I simply don’t know.

What do you do with your wet swimming costume. You can’t really wash it so what do you do?

Rinse it through with warm water at the end of the day in the shower and hang it out to dry

I tend to wash it in shower with me then hang on the balcony outside to dry overnight

I rinse well and then wash - I take a tube of travel wash stuff. Hang up to dry on balcony or in bathroom.

As above

I didn’t think of taking travel wash stuff. I know this sounds pathetic but I’ve never been on a beach holiday before.

I just rinse out and hang on the balcony. If it's not enough for swimming then it's hot enough to dry your swimmers.

I also wash my underwear in the shower every day . Roll up in a towel to remove excess water and they dry very quickly .
I take a few pegs and some string for a temporary drying line between to chairs on the balcony .

Take s pish shampoo bar, this is smaller and
Lighter than a bottle and doubles as clothes wash. Always rinse your swimsuit or the chlorine fades it. I airways tajebdolid shapoo and bars of soap, smaller, lighter and don’t leak.

*lush shampoo bar as a pish one wouldn’t be any good

🤣🤣🤣@Fluffyears

Take a few swimsuits. At least two. I tend to wear one in the morning and then nip up to the room to change into a dry one before lunch. If I’ve been in the pool. Rinse out the one I’ve worn and hang up.

Hang it on the balcony to dry. Put it back in in the morning / next swim.

Back on in the morning

Depends if you are swimming in a chlorine pool or the ocean.
Chlorine needs to be washed out more thoroughly than sea water.

As others said above, just rinse it through then hang it on balcony to dry. A lot of hotel balconies have small hanging racks to dry stuff on.
I usually take two swimsuits so if I've been in the pool or sea in the morning, I can change into a dry one prior to lunch if I'm intending wearing one after lunch.

Definitely take at least two. And when you are ready to come home, if it's going to be a long flight, don't pack your swimwear in your suitcase if it's still damp, because if you leave it folded up damp for hours and hours, it will probably damage it. Let the air get to it until it's dry.

Rinse through with a squirt from a cheap bottle of washing up liquid bought locally.
