Core Etiquette Principles
- Shower before first immersion (and after sauna/steam).
- Keep phone use discreet—avoid loud calls poolside.
- Respect personal space; pools vary in crowd density.
Packing Checklist (Minimalist vs Full)
| Item | Minimalist | Comfort-Focused | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Swimsuit | ✓ | ✓ | Mandatory; no street clothes |
| Microfiber towel | ✓ | ✓ | Faster dry; packable |
| Flip-flops | ✓ | ✓ | Wet-surface safety |
| Water bottle | ✓ | ✓ | Hydration is non-negotiable |
| Light robe | ✓ | Winter/wind comfort outdoors | |
| Waterproof phone pouch | Optional | ✓ | Protects from splashes |
| Second towel (wrap) | Optional | For seating or cold days | |
| Lock / Band (provided) | ✓ | ✓ | Follow staff instructions |
Hygiene Flow
- Pre-entry shower (temperate water)
- First warm pool (not hottest) acclimation
- Optional sauna → rinse → pool
- End-of-day rinse + full dry before dressing
Photography Boundaries
- Avoid direct close-ups of strangers; wide architectural framing is safer.
- Steam creates condensation—wipe lens gently (microfiber cloth).
- Morning light (soft) and golden hour (warm) best for exterior.
Towel Strategy
- Microfiber speeds re-entry into water (less chill). Cotton retains moisture longer—okay if you stay put.
- Rent only if packing ultra-light; own towel improves workflow.
Quick Don’ts
- No diving (pool depth + safety signage).
- No glass containers.
- Limit strong fragrances (shared air quality).
Bottom Line
Clean entry, mindful gear, and discreet photography keep the day calm. Pack purposeful items—each should earn its space.
