Introduction

This guide is for men (and busy professionals) who want a quick lunchtime swim. Johnny, the site manager, shares the “fastest setup to swim and return” perfected over years of trial and error. If you want to wash away workplace stress in water, this is for you.

Essential Gear: Cut It Down to 6 Items

  • Swimsuit
  • Goggles
  • Chamois towel
  • Swim cap
  • Shampoo & conditioner (skip if the club provides)
  • Moisturizer & minimal hair care

That’s all you need for a lunch swim. Bringing less is the ultimate time-saver.

Fastest Routine on Arrival (Johnny Style)

  1. Check-in
  2. Quick change in the locker room
  3. Grab goggles, cap, chamois, and shampoo set together
  4. Go to the pool → swim
  5. Shower to rinse swimsuit, optional sauna if time allows

Tip: Keep goggles, cap, chamois, and shampoo set together when drying them so you can grab and go. Prepping becomes almost stress-free.

Sample Timetable (Total: 45–60 minutes)

Step Approx. Time
Parking → Locker room 10 min
Change clothes → Pool entry 3 min
Swimming 20–25 min
Shower (rinse swimsuit) + shampoo 5 min
Light sauna (optional) 5–10 min
Jacuzzi (if available, optional) 3 min
Final shower → change → hair styling 8 min

If you’re short on time, skip the sauna or jacuzzi. If you want to relax a bit more, extend your swim time.

Bag “Fixed Spot Rule” for 3x Faster Prep

Simply organizing where items go in your bag reduces forgotten items and speeds up prep.

  • Outer pocket: Chamois, goggles
  • Main compartment: Swimsuit, cap
  • Accessory pouch: Shampoo set, moisturizer & hair care

Quick-Dry vs. Slow-Dry Items (Know Your Priorities)

Lunchtime swims leave little drying time, so decide what to dry at the club and what to take home.

  • Quick-dry (can dry at the club): Chamois, cap (depends on material), goggles
  • Bring home to dry: Swimsuit, towel

Simply rinse the swimsuit in the shower, wring it out, and take it home—done.

Fastest Flow from Swim to Leaving

After swimming → rinse swimsuit in shower → optional sauna → quick final shower → dry off & change → moisturizer & hair styling → check out. Total time from finishing swim to back at your car is roughly 8 minutes.

Common Issues & Quick Fixes

  • Forgot goggles: keep a spare in your bag
  • Swimsuit doesn’t dry: bring two swimsuits
  • Feel sleepy in the sauna: keep sauna short (5–10 min)
  • Bag gets wet: use a waterproof inner bag

Conclusion: Efficient Prep Makes Lunchtime Swimming Realistic

By minimizing gear, fixing their spots in your bag, and knowing your timetable, lunchtime swims are perfectly doable. It’s a personal escape from annoying coworkers and a boost for your afternoon performance.

(Johnny’s tip) Making prep a habit eliminates “Should I go or not?” time. Try one week of following the fixed bag rule and see the difference.
