DS shaking in the pool’s changing rooms

[DYIDIY]

It’s so so cold in there, he shakes all the time and is quite scary to watch him. I usually just use the pool’s towels but we are only allowed one each and it’s not enough as it gets soaked and then he is cold whilst I get all his clothes out of the locker etc. Does anyone have a nice, warm towel to recommend that won’t occupy too much space in my gymbag? What tricks do other parents use to keep their DC warm in the changing rooms?

My 5 year old is like this. I can see him actually shivering on the side of the pool when they get out to practice jumping in. We have a hooded towel and then I just get him dressed as fast as humanly possible really. I take clothes that are warm and very easy to put on.

Take a couple of handtowels from home to dry him quickly while he is wrapped in the big pool towel, then dress quickly.
Smaller less bulky towels are easier to 'maneouvre'!!

We have a couple of large poncho style hooded microfibre towels, but before that I used to take her fleecy dressing gown with me to wrap her up while I got dressed. It got a bit damp, but dried quickly at home.
