What do you wear after swimming?

I really like swimming but for some reason, I've become put off it at the moment by the faff of what to put on afterwards , I can't really put a bra on due to a shoulder injury to come home (I swim at night, have a lovely shower there and come home) in the winter, it's a hoodie and joggers which covers the no bra situation, but summer is more tricky. A huge tshirt isn't working. If you swim and also have sensory/mobility issues, what do you take to wear home?

I have a beach cover up similar to this. The v-neck and frill near the neck, plus the pattern, seems to hide my bra-less boobs.

I wear a long Boden jersey dress and nothing else at all and I just put my arm across my boobs if I feel self conscious. I’m an F cup. I’m pretty sure nobody takes any notice of me though!

Front fastening soft/non wired bra? Just been looking at these for a relative with a torn shoulder tendon.

But if you're going straight home from the pool, I'd probably just brazen it out.

A beach cover up is a great idea- I could do that with leggings

I don't go straight home- there's a coffee shop there so I sometimes go in there

I also swim a lot and don’t out a bra on to come home as I just hate bras and I’m still too hot to put one on. I usually just carry my sports bag on one shoulder and in front if me to cover one boob. The other, I hold my water bottle and keys close to my chest to kinda cover it up.. lol. If you go to a cafe after, maybe try nipple pasties, just to cover up any nipple pokeage.
