For some, the pool is a much-needed escape from everyday stress. For others, it’s part of a weekly fitness routine or even a place to recharge and relax. Whatever swimming means to you, chances are you already have a go-to way of packing your bag. But here’s the big question: does it have everything you need to leave the water feeling fresh, comfortable, and ready for the rest of your day?
This is a swimmer’s checklist with a few clever additions you might not have thought of.
1. Rescue Kit for Hair & Skin
Chlorine may be great for keeping the pool clean, but for your body? Not so much. Even if you don’t notice it at first, chlorine lingers on your skin and hair, leaving behind: dry, tight skin, brittle and dull hair, flare-ups for sensitive skin, and that unmistakable “pool smell.”
This is where TRISWIM makes all the difference. Designed specifically for swimmers, their products wash away chlorine (and salt water) while also caring for your skin and hair.
-
TRISWIM Shampoo clears away chemical build-up and brings softness back to your hair.
-
TRISWIM Conditioner smooths and strengthens, sealing the hair cuticle to protect it between swims.
-
TRISWIM Body Wash gently cleanses, soothes irritation, and gets rid of that chlorine odor once and for all.
-
TRISWIM Lotion restores hydration so your skin feels smooth, calm, and comfortable again.
Think of it as your post-swim reset button.
2. A Bag for Wet Gear
Let’s be honest- nobody likes pulling out a soggy towel next to their dry clothes. A simple waterproof pouch (even a shoe bag works!) will save your swim bag from turning into a damp mess.
3. Waterproof Headphones or Swim MP3 Player
Here’s a real game-changer. Swimming with music or a podcast in your ears transforms the whole experience. Laps go by faster, motivation stays high, and suddenly your workout feels like a treat instead of a chore.
4. Recovery Snack
Post-swim hunger is real. Instead of rushing home feeling drained, stash something small in your bag - like a banana, protein bar, or handful of nuts. It’s amazing how a simple snack can flip your energy from “exhausted” to “recharged.”
5. Small Gadgets That Make a Big Difference
-
FOGGIES Anti-Fog Cleaning Wipes - Say goodbye to foggy goggles! These handy wipes not only stop lenses from misting up but also clean off pool-water residue like copper compounds. Just swipe once, wait a moment, and you’re ready to swim crystal-clear. Bonus: seal the wipe in a zip bag and reuse it several times. Trusted by athletes and divers alike, FOGGIES are a true lifesaver in the water.
-
Microfiber hair towel - Super light, dries quickly, and is much kinder to your hair than a bulky cotton towel.
-
Earplugs and a nose clip - Not everyone needs them, but once you try, you might never swim without them again.
Final Thoughts
Packing your swim bag is more than just a swimsuit, towel, and flip-flops. With the right extras, you’ll make your time in the pool more comfortable, more hygienic, and way more enjoyable. And if you want to really feel the difference after every swim?
Rely on TRISWIM products. They’ve got your back (and skin, and hair) so you can dive in as often as you like without paying the price in dryness or chlorine damage.
