🩱 Basic Swimming Essentials

Let's start with the most important - you simply can't do without these:

  • Swimwear - take 2 pairs (one dries while you use the other)
  • Towels - at least 2 (one for body, one for hair)
  • Flip-flops/slippers - essential around pools and in the wellness center
  • Bathrobe or towel for changing - practical when moving between pools
  • Plastic bag - for wet swimwear and towels after swimming

🧴 Cosmetics and Hygiene

You'll spend a lot of time in the water at the thermal spa, so proper care is important:

Before swimming:

  • Hair protection cream - thermal water can dry out hair
  • Swimming cap - recommended especially for long hair
  • Waterproof sunscreen (SPF 30+) - essential in summer at outdoor pools

After swimming:

  • Shower gel and shampoo - to wash off minerals from skin and hair
  • Moisturizing cream - thermal water can dry out skin
  • Hair conditioner - helps restore hair moisture
  • Deodorant - a must after wellness program

💡 PRO TIP
