What do ladies wear when they want to go swimming while hiking? Bra and briefs? Fully clothed?
Lost in the right direction.

Clothing she wishes to launder.
No kidding!
When a lady friend bicycled across America a while back, she took three changes of clothing...two of which were cycling outfits. She quickly found rinising an outfit wouldn't kill the odor. Therefore whenever she encountered a swimming pool, she'd shower wearing an outfit and then swim a few laps. Repeat the process with the 2nd outfit and drape the first over a chair in the sun allowing it to dry sufficiently to wear for departure.
The chlorinated water killed odor-causing bacteria but did fade the colours a bit.

On my last hike, I didn't want to swim in my hiking clothes and then have to sleep in wet clothes. Yet, I wasn't comfortable with swimming in my underwear and possibly getting caught. So I didn't swim at all and now wish I had.Lost in the right direction. -

I'm not overly modest but knowing my luck, I would get caught by some Boy Scouts and scar those poor boys for life.

Frankly the suits I'm viewing at swimming holes and pools make underwear modest. Not that I'm complaining.

I see two options, swim naked or sleep naked. I feel for the ladies, a lot of limitations on what is sensible for them to do, nice to be a guy and just strip off and take a swim and if someone sees you and goes blind so be it.TrafficJam wrote:

I use a black sportbra and shorts for a swimsuit. These same items with a 2.3 oz. cotton shirt are also my town clothes. I do not get them wet until after my hiking clothes are dry(clean or not). Loved the lazy river at Fontana Dam!

I need to rethink my clothes, I take as little as possible. Maybe I should always pack a pair of shorts in the summer.Lost in the right direction.
