Help me solve a simple problem!

I’ve been doing a lot of open water swimming recently and I’m ending up with a lot of washing!
every time I go I wear joggers and a sweatshirt there with my swimmers on underneath. Get out and use a towel, take my wet costume off and put the tracksuit on. The place I swim is a bit sludgy at times and I think everything gets a bit grubby and in need of a wash each time I go. Which means I’m washing my swimming costume, towel and tracksuit every couple of days.
What’s the solution?! Just suck it up and keep washing the tracksuit after wearing it for about 20 minutes in total? I don’t really want to leave it to air dry inbetween, I reckon it would end up being really smelly 😂
It just feels really wasteful to be washing it every time but I can’t think what else I could do.
Ps it’s not like a matching tracksuit, just a pair of jogging bottoms and a sweatshirt, problem is they’re my comfiest bits of slobby house clothes - perhaps the answer is to buy another set of clothes and dedicate them to being smelly lake clothes and just air dry inbetween?
Has anyone ever heard of a more ridiculous problem… 🫣😂

Oh god am I being really thick? Have people read this and clicked off because it sounds so stupid? 🫣

I would go with smelly lake clothes. As you say you are literally wearing them to and from the lake for 20 mins. I know it feels a bit grubby but it’s not like you are wearing them for weeks on end just two or three trips.

You’re probably right. I think I’ll dedicate one set of clothes to being smelly lake ones.
