You don't have to. You have three a few options once you're on level 3:
- clear immigration, then go to the Welcome Lounge landside to have a shower, then clear security to A/B Schengen
- clear immigration, then go over to pier A landside, pass security and go to the SEN lounge in A Schengen
- clear immigraton and security in B, then take the tunnel to A Schengen, use the lounge there.
- clear security, go to the SEN lounge in B non-Schengen, then clear immigration and security again in B Schengen, if nessecary take the tunnel to A schengen
- take the Sky train to terminal A, clear security once, clear immigration, clear security again and go to the SEN lounge in A Schengen
I would strongly recommend (1) if you're allowed into the Welcome Lounge, else option (2).
