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

  1. Pre-entry shower (temperate water)
  2. First warm pool (not hottest) acclimation
  3. Optional sauna → rinse → pool
  4. 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.
