ELI5, Why does it appear we dry off faster after being totally submerged rather than partially wet? I.E. why is air drying off after a shower slower than a bath?

My hotel room has a bathtub/shower in it. Normally when I shower I have to consciously dry off with a towel for a long period, however after taking a bath I was nearly completely dry before the water even drained and I barely had to use a towel! Is there some… weird hydrodynamics at play?

Are you certain that this isn’t just a trick of perception?
