Are you people who are anti-bath because of dirt averse to swimming in oceans because fish poop in it?
A shower afterward takes care of piscine poo.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Not at first, anyway. And by the time it is, bathtime is over!
Not at after, either! Der. I shower before I bathe, and I keep hot water trickling in the whole time. Tada. Clean and hot.

I'm anti-bath because I don't like being in water. If I want to relax, give me a recliner or something.

I don't usually take a bath when I'm dirty. I use the shower to get clean. Baths are for bombs, bubbles, salts, oils, masks, wine, books, music through headphones and candles.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

If I were to immerse myself in a natural body of water (I can't swim), I would take a shower afterward. "Fish poop" isn't what comes to mind so much as "bacteria". And you know, fish aren't the only ones who poop, and die, in it. You don't know what's upstream from you, or at the bottom.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, ita's way is the Japanese way. I tried to get them to put a floor drain in my bathroom with the tub for this purpose. You're supposed to wash off (with a bucket! but okay, shower is acceptable) and then get in, clean, to clean water that is near boiling temperatures. I mean literally; a proper furo is wood fired. You soak in that, and it stays hot.
And to further the point about hygiene weirdness, multiple people can use the furo because it's clean. Because you washed first.

In 5 generations, not one person in my family has even gotten so much as a cold from bathing in the lake at our summer cabin. (And AFAIK my grandmother is the only person ever to use the shower up there. That bathroom is *nasty*. Give me a nice clean lake any day.)

How funny that I was just listening to someone yesterday about how we're too clean and that's why we have allergies, etc.

I've never gotten sick from it either! It's just, you know, the thought of it. I wasn't such a delicate flower when I was a kid. Of course, I hadn't seen a deer carcass rotting in a river then, either. Scarred for life, there.
