I noticed that quite a few swimmers I encounter in the shower completely take off their trunks or briefs and wash them underneath the shower heads. I normally just wait until I get home to wash out the chlorine there. Am I just being a prude or is this more recommended?
I start the shower with jammers on, finish with jammers off; what happens in between is between me and God.

This, but usually rinse them really well as I’m cleaning myself off.
I put my swimsuit on my head and then shampoo the whole thing.

I put mine on my head as well! And then I shampoo, take them off, and use them to floss my anus. Isn’t this how to make sure everything is clean?
@Crosby
I thought cleaning the anus was more of a toothpick action.
I swim at 5:30 am and go straight to work after, so yes. I wash and rinse them in the shower, and after I put them in the spinning dryer. We have gender-separated bathrooms and there are no curtains. Nobody cares and dudes are respectful.
Only thing I find funny are the really old guys completely fine having a 20 minute conversation with their wangs hanging out. It’s like really old elephants around the watering hole. Gravity has been none too kind, but if they don’t care, I don’t care.
@Linden
What I find more uncomfortable is the fact they have 20 minute conversations, not the nudity.
Some of these questions bruh I swear.

People ask weird questions here. Is it normal? I mean, if there’s multiple people doing it, then it probably is? Can people not deduce things from their observations anymore or does everything need a Reddit post?
@Kiran
Truly. All it takes for a new swimmer to learn what is considered normal behaviour is to watch people around them. You shouldn’t need to be told which way to circle around; you can literally just observe other people.
@Kiran
Lots of questions on Reddit when you could just observe and know the answer.
Ok to change/shower in front of same-sex high schoolers?!?
That’s the most American thing I’ve heard all year.

100%, also the answer in America is it’s ok until it isn’t; when will you know it isn’t? When it’s too late.
I swam in a pool that had younger athletes when I was taking lessons, just showered at home, because no reason to find out.
If you shower with your trunks on, do you shower again at home?

I’m a woman, so bathing suit instead of trunks, but I just rinse off and then go home to shower. I got a sweatsuit that’s terry inside, so I just throw that on over my bathing suit, throw on a hat and go home. (Showers are mixed here and nudity wouldn’t be legal, but I would do the same otherwise. I like to use 849 different products in the shower and I’m not carrying all that around).

Terry? Terry cloth like a towel inside or French terry?

Later at night, yeah; the students from the nearby school use the pool as well, so I wasn’t sure if I’m allowed to use the shower naked.
