When I swim, if I just get out of the pool and dry off, it only takes me a minute to fully dry off.

If I take a poolside outdoor shower to get the chlorine off and then dry off, it takes considerably longer to dry off.

This confuses me - getting fully emersed in water should get make me more soaked… but the shower seems to get me more soaked…

I often think about this when taking a shower after swimming… the paradox of water

    I’d imagine your standard for “fully dry” is just different for each of these.

      I use the same metric each time, no longer dripping so I can get into the elevator without making a mess
