I always get done swimming and head to the individual showers in the locker room. Of course this is where I take off my suit and shower. Once in a blue moon I swim at a local Christian University. This place has public showers literally right next to the pool to rinse off. So I get done swimming and start to rinse off. Without even thinking I start to take off my suit. Suddenly I realize my mistake and I’m trying to get my wet suit back on (not easy as you can imagine!) I definitely got some harsh (and very happy) looks! So what advice can I give about this? Situational awareness!
