Prepare for a successful swimming session by packing the essentials in your pool bag.
A swimming session is about much more than just putting on a swimsuit and diving into the water. From the locker room to the pool, and then during recovery, good preparation allows you to swim comfortably and focus fully on your session. Swimsuit, cap, pool shoes, training accessories, or even an outfit for after your swim: discover what we pack in our CHLORE Pool Bag.
The essentials to pack in your pool bag
Before heading to the pool, a few essentials naturally find their place in our Pool Bag.
- The Pool Bag
The starting point for your Swim Kit: a bag spacious enough to hold your swimsuit, your swimming accessories, and all your belongings before and after your session. The CHLORE Pool Bag thus accompanies the swimmer from the locker room to the edge of the pool.
- The Stride
Designed to extend the pool experience, The Stride is a light and comfortable shoe that protects your feet when you leave the water. Its airy 3D structure facilitates water drainage, and its 360° ventilation provides a pleasant feeling after your workout. Easy to put on, it combines technical features with a sport-chic look right to the edge of your lane.
- The KELLER - Saltwater swimsuit
At the heart of the Pool Bag: the swimsuit. The KELLER Saltwater adopts the iconic racerback design intended to support movement in the water. Its athletic cut frees the shoulders and encourages a full range of motion, letting you complete your laps with fluidity.

- The AMI - Pool bathrobe
To be slipped on as soon as you leave the pool, the AMI bathrobe is crafted in soft, ultra-absorbent terry cloth. Its short cut allows you to cover up and dry off after your swim, while its two large pockets easily hold your small essentials. A piece designed to extend that sporty look well after your last lap.
- The swimming cap
A true swimmer's essential, CHLORE silicone models combine elasticity, comfort, and resistance, while adding the brand's graphic signature to the poolside.
- The Mesh pool bag
Lightweight, flexible, and designed in a quick-drying mesh fabric, the Mesh pool bag makes it easy to carry the accessories needed for your training. Fins, hand paddles, or a kickboard: all your tools stay gathered and ready for the session.
In the water: the right accessories to support your training
Once in the pool, the accessories take over. Depending on the focus of your session, fins, hand paddles, and a kickboard allow you to vary your workout and target different aspects of your stroke. The Mesh bag keeps them together and makes them easy to transport between the locker rooms and the pool.
Also, don't forget your water bottle. In the water, the feeling of sweating and thirst is less obvious, but hydration remains important during a sports session. Keep your water bottle at the edge of the pool and remember to drink regularly. Here is the DECATHLON water bottle.
After the swim: recovery and maintenance
The session doesn't end at the last lap. A few simple steps help you take care of yourself, as well as your equipment.
Take care of your skin and hair
After your session, take the time to rinse thoroughly to remove chlorine residue from your skin and hair. Then, gently detangle your hair and complete your routine with suitable moisturizing care. For this, we particularly love products from SUN BUM.
Think about recovery after training
After a strenuous session, remember to hydrate and plan for a post-workout snack. Fresh fruit, dried fruit, or a cereal bar can easily fit into your Pool Bag to recharge your energy after your swim.
What to do with your wet swimsuit after the pool?
Once you have changed, slip your wet swimsuit into a waterproof pouch to separate it from the rest of your belongings. The reusable CHLORE pouch, offered with a first swimsuit order depending on the brand's terms, is perfect for carrying your swimsuit after the session.
Back home, do not leave your damp swimsuit in your bag. Take it out promptly, rinse it with clear water, and let it air dry. Also, remember to take out your cap and accessories so that your Pool Bag is ready for your next session.
