You generally leave your towel in the locker. You can bring a bottle, but that would be unusual if you're swimming for less than an hour. If you want to rest, just chill at the end of the pool - just leave the middle of the lane clear for people to turn. And if you don't want to tire yourself out, just go slow. Start in the slow lane, and make a judgement on when you should move up - assuming the pool is divided into lanes.
It's generally pretty intuitive, just copy others, unless they're douchebags. It's pretty easy to identify the douchebags.
