Bathing suit?

Very light, comfortable and compressible poncho. Specially designed for protection against water for any activity.

Our Atmospheric H30 poncho offers lightness and waterproofness. Easily compressible and made with our Waterproof fabric, its heat-sealed interior seams guarantee its waterproofness. Includes carrying bag.

€60,-
Could be a good idea.

There are quite many pools along the Frances. But the nights in May are still cold and if the pools are filled with water they will not be upheated so the water will be COLD!

If you bring bikinis then maybe use them at nights to sleep in with a T.

While in Santiago you might want to walk to Finisterre and get use for your swimwear on the beaches of Galicia.

I always carry swimming trunks. Swim stuff is pretty light weight and I've had chance to use frequently, although that said I haven't walked the Frances.

Unheated pool in May is certainly refreshing but certainly not comfortable :shock:

The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
Thanks for your replies! Guess I'll make my decision based on pack weight, but it sounds like the bathing suit is certainly not essential.
