Parkas

Dumb question coming. I just got a swim parka. I had never had a use for one since I had been swimming at gyms where I go directly into a warm locker room and shower. Now I am swimming with a Masters club outside with no lockers (head directly home). This is where the Parka comes in. First use this morning. Couple issues. I put my essentials in the pockets and skipped a bag. Kinda bulky and uncomfortable. I didnâ€Tmt wear any clothes over my suit. Just the parka. That didnâ€Tmt feel right either. What is the best way to do all this? I am not asking how to wear a jacket. I am asking how to best use a specialized piece of swimming equipment.🤣

    Skip the parka. If you're just coming out of a workout, wrap a towel around your bottom and toss a solid cotton hoodie on your top. Run to the car. Turn on the heat. Drive home. If that's not working, skip the 'warm-down' in your workout and finish with a good hard 200-500 fly. Your body will generate enough heat you might not even need to dry off before you get to a car. I've never understood the parka. It seems like a bulky, expensive waste. IMHO:bolt: Yes they are expensive, I haven't seen one under 125.00
