This tip is brought to you by my smart 10 year old daughter:
When you are getting out of the pool and your swimsuit is really wet and your cold or you need to dry off to go home, wrap your towel tightly around your body-as tight as you can. Hold it closed with your arms and scrunch down all the way to the ground, keeping your arms pressed against your body, while kneeling.
It really does wring out your suit quickly!
I wouldn’t know. I tried it, but fell and couldn’t get up.
But it works for her!
What works for you? View WFMW guidelines here. Don’t forget next week’s (suggested) theme is: “Share your favorite summer recipe(s)!”
That was cute. Thanks for the linky!
LOL! I’d probably fall down too:) Thanks for hosting!
“I tried it, but fell and couldn’t get up.”
I am cracking up. That would totally happen to me.
LOL. I bet that would happen to me too! Still…I’ll have to have the kids try this one so they don’t come in and track water all over the floor.
my most embarrassing moment involves falling down while doing something like this while i was captain of the high school swim team in front of the whole high school.
I love it! I will try it next time I’m at the pool.
love it! I can just picture any mom trying that and falling over!
Love this! Very clever, an especially love the part about you falling and not being able to get up, haha! That would be me…..Thanks for hosting!
Your daughter is too cute!
Thanks for hosting! Love the drying swimsuit tip. Will have to try next time we go swimming.
I’ll have to remember this tip for my son the next time we go to the pool. Thanks once again for hosting!
I love that! I’ll get my little girls to try it, but I don’t think I’ll try myself. I’d fall over for sure! Besides, I’ve got one of those little skirts on my bathing suit, and that’s where all the water collects. The rest is usually not too wet…because I usually don’t go in any further. LOL

Great tip, I’ll have to try it!
Thanks for the linky!
Have a great Wednesday!
I like that idea so much better than my children’s method of JUST DROP IT WHEREVER, AND WAIT FOR MOM TO STEP ON IT.
She definitely sounds like a smart girl.
Tell her “thank you” from me!
Thank you, Kristen, for hosting this each week!
You have a clever one there for sure! Have a great day!
I’ll have to tell my daughter about this tip. It can be 95 degrees, but when she gets out of the pool, she shivers.
Thanks for the linky.
LOL! That is so clever! And I’d probably fall over too. I’m going to recommend it to my little sister though, she’s on the swim team, and is more limber than I am
I give you props for just getting into a swimsuit and trying it. I have yet to brave that this year….
I love your daughter’s tip. So cute!
The falling part is my favorite. I’m sure not yours though!
Cute!
That’s funny, I’ll be thinking of you next time that I try that!
Ha! Great tip, and thanks for the chuckle!
Sorry you couldn’t get up….I would be the same way
How sweet! Does she know she wrote your blog this week? If the weather there is anything like it is here, an hour away, I’m sure yall are spending as much time in the pool as you can. Stay cool! (ha, I feel like I just signed a jr. high year book…)
Blessings.
I’m laughing at the last part of what you said. While I was reading it I kept imagining myself doing that at the pool…I’m sure I’d fall too!
Cute post
Thanks so much for hosting!
