To think putting on pyjamas after swimming class at 5pm is a bit weird?

[PlayNoBill]

My DD has a swim lesson 4:15 to 4:45 and other children change into their pjs after their class. Is this the new thing? Never seen it before. Is this a little early to be in pjs?

I think it's a good idea.

Ours went to bed at 7 that age so it would be a late tea story and bed.

Pretty much all the children at our pool leave after their lesson in a fluffy onesie.
Seems sensible to me! Easy to get back jnto, warms them up fast.
Mine don't then sleep in their onesie, they put their PJs on at bedtime

You don't know them. It's none of your business.

I would put mine in pjs after the class. I do this when At family. My DS has a bedtime routine and it happens wherever we are (have done since he was a baby). He goes home in his oneis all the time means he knows it's bedtime when he gets home and make life so much easier

We do this, makes sense!

I put my son in a sleepsuit after his swimming. But he's 7 months and it's so much quicker just whipping on a sleepsuit rather than a full set of clothes when he's hungry, tired and cold!

I always do it. Seems daft to put dirty clothes on a clean body or waste clean ones for the sake of Hal an hour or so. My dd's lessons don't finish till 7 and youngest dd is only 3 but not sure if that makes a huge difference. Saves time when we get home too

Lazy? Sod off! Efficient use of time more like!

I do this with dtds. They come out cold so I dry them, shove on onesies, get in car with 2 happy 5 year olds, go and collect dd1 from riding, get home, feed all dc, shower dc and put on pjs. Never occurred to me someone was judging this. I can't shower them at swimming as taps are too stiff for them and I end up soaked (tried it once) in my work clothes.

I work 30 hours a week, have 3 dc who I ferry about to clubs, do homework with, feed etc (normal stuff) but I'm lazy for shoving on onesies after swimming? Only on mn. Fwiw there are 12 dc who swim at the same time (3 classes of 4) and every dc is in onesies after. This is a private gym swimming pool not council run just incase those judging assumed we were all dailyfail benefit claiming families

We never used to but since both boys now have lessons at the same time which end at 6pm, and since the showers are often so busy they have a proper shower at home instead, rather than get fully dressed they just put on their underwear and throw a onsie on. It's so much easier in very crowded changing rooms! As it is cold at the moment, they will put their old pjs under for the jounrney back and then change into fresh pjs after their bath.

The few times we do on elsewhere, they do hang around to have proper showers and get changed back in their school uniforms if only because their onsies don't scream swimsies.

For all the 'lazy' commenters, you are obviously not aware of what current swimming kit is like. If I see anyone out and about with damp hair and a onsie or tracksuit I immediately think swimmer. A onsie in this context is not nightwear, it is an all-in-one tracksuit.

My DS has moved his class times & now swims 6-6:30. Saw some of the other children putting on their onesies after their shower. I think its a great idea. We don't get home till 7pm & DS goes to bed 7:30ish so it makes sense.

To add, it is very common at our family-run, private pool.

We do this, kids put on swim cossie with onsie on top, and it's very quick change when we get there. And when they get out its shower and hairwash , nice warm onsie on for the chilly drive home. Not at all lazy, in fact before I started doing this I used to dread all the faffing about.

I've never seen anyone do this, and I've never even thought of it before. Bit now that I've thought of it, I can see that it's quite practical!

DS has a swimming lesson 4-4.30 and I put him in a onesie afterwards. The alternative is put him back into his school uniform- knee socks, cord shorts and all.
I don't see the problem?

Mine have lessons which finish at 5pm and we also do this.

I actually change them at home and put their costumes on under their onesies and take clean underwear etc in.

Saves me having to cart dirty uniform home.

Onesie or jammies here too. Putting woollen tights on damp legs is just grim. DD has a full shower and hair wash at the pool. Just add some cheapish slipper boots with waterproof bottoms for the walk to the car and you're done

My dd has swimming 4 - 4.30, my mum takes her as I am at work, she showers her afterwards then puts her into a onesie and brings her home, once home my mum gives her her tea so when we get home we have some rare time just to chat and cuddle then off to bed she goes at 6.15pm - she does go early but she has never been good at staying up later

Yep, have always done this. Not lazy, just efficient! Full wash and hair wash, onesies and slipper boots on. Why on Earth you would put children back into dirty clothes (underwear and all) or, worse, imo, put them in a fully clean outfit for all of a couple of hours before bed I don't know. If you get a dark coloured onesie and put a coat over the top you wouldn't really notice much anyway? Just looks like joggers.

One of the minority who agrees with the OP. (although also agree it is none of my business what others do, just wouldn't have done it myself.)

It all depends on how you get home and what the weather is. If it's cold or wet, then I would say it isn't very practical. Pyjamas aren't as warm or waterproof as proper trousers.
And unless you are in a car, I would find it a bit odd.

I think it's genius, can't believe I (or other parents in my town) haven't thought of it. Genuinely think I will become a trend setter here!!

At our swimming everyone puts them in crocs afterwards.
Yes we drive home.

It's cold and dark so I'd do it.

It is weird, sweatshirt and tracksuit bottoms are easy enough to slip on after, pjs is just weird.

It's been freezing out lately and onesies/pjs aren't very warm.
