Is it worth packing a swim suit if walking July/August? Any streams along the way or accommodation with pools?

In May, my teen. daughter & I walked from SJPDP to Logrono in 6-days with a 2-night break in Pamplona. After a week of snoring & farting barns which were generally quite good, but for 1 exception, we stumbled into the AC hotel in Logrono for our last night on the trail. It's a fairly new hotel downtown next to the University. For 57 euros incl. tax., we discovered the place had a SPA...steam room, sauna & lap pool..we couldn't believe our good fortune, spotlessly clean. After being soaked to the skin for 6 days of hail, snow, rain & mud we thought we'd arrived in heaven. Nothing like water therapy & heat to ease the muscles & bones back to life. Like true Peregrinos we swam in our underwear & washed them at the same time ! We're already planning Logrono to Astorga next year. Buen camino !
