What do ladies wear when they want to go swimming while hiking? Bra and briefs? Fully clothed?

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.

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!
