If you have an outdoor shower, they do not have to go in and out of your house dripping wet to accomplish this. You can also rinse off after swimming to remove chlorinated water off your body.
2) Take a quick refresher shower on a hot summer day. This is good if it is very hot outside, you take a quick shower to freshen up. You will feel fresher after showering outside on a hot summer day.
3) Post yard work clean up. If you have been working outside doing yard work and gardening and you do not want to bring your soil in, you can wash yourself right outside by using your outdoor shower.
