Why is it recommended to rub with a towel after swimming in cool windy weather?

When leaving the water, after bathing, the person will be “wet” – his skin will be covered with numerous drops of water.

If the wind is strong enough, the droplets will begin to evaporate quickly. In this case, evaporation is accompanied by the absorption of a certain amount of heat from the environment (in our case, the absorption of heat occurs “from the skin” of a person, it is noticeably cooled).

In cool weather, this can lead to the fact that a person will begin to “freeze” after getting out of the water.

Therefore, in this case, it is recommended to rub well with a towel to ensure blood flow to the skin at the capillary level, which compensates for the cooling effect.
