Just letting you know that your story collection Thunderstruck, which I'm belatedly reading, has had me swimming in tears over the past day or so. I have been wearing normal clothes for that après-swim!!

I swim year round in San Francisco Bay, where the average water temp is 54°F and we scoff at wetsuits. When our clubhouse was closed for the 15 months of Covid restrictions—no showers, no saunas—I did a lot of research into après-swim attire. My recommendations: merino wool tank top and leggings (Icebreaker is spendy but worth it), a down-insulated skirt or jumpsuit (check Am*zon), and a 30-year-old fleece-lined swim parka from my masters team era. So chic! (Not.) Some of my fellow hardies opted for something called Dryrobe, which I probably would have sprung for if the shutdown had lasted a minute longer.
