For the first time ever I’ve signed up to a gym that also has a swimming pool.
I have a lovely vision of doing a mixed cardio/resistance workout, then transitioning as seamlessly as possible into the pool (quick poolside rinse first of course) for a nice swim.
For those of you who do this, … do you wear your swimming costume underneath your gym kit, triathlon style, to minimise changing hassle, or will this burn my flaps off after 10 mins on the treadmill?! and therefore should just stop being so lazy and change properly in the locker room into a swimming costume?
Not liking the idea of having to hoik a swimming costume onto sweaty skin but is this generally the best option anyway?
(as you can probably tell I’m an overthinker 🤣)

Going into the swimming pool sweaty is revolting! Please change and shower between your gym session and swim for the sake of the other users. It shouldn't be too hard to get a swim suit on off your dry off well after your shower

Thanks all. Just to be clear, “poolside rinse” is what I mean by a pre swim shower. Obviously I wouldn’t go into the pool sweaty 😏

I need a proper sports bra so haven’t ever considered this!
