Do. Or do not. There is no try.

First, I do think it's a valid concern. It's good not to panic or freak out - even though I can imagine being incredibly uneasy.
So, let's talk about it.
For what it's worth, I used to throw my little ones in the shower with me when I was running late to save on time. It was just easier. Maybe it's a judgment call on the GF's part - not realizing that it might not be OK with you.
Was your daughter uncomfortable?
Does she shower with you?
Does she bathe with siblings?
How well acquainted are you with the girlfriend?
How long has she been in your daughter's life?
Does she have children?

yes, i'd make sure 1st that your daughter was comfortable, cuz if she was
not you need to have this stopped.
I do know that taking a shower with your kids is ok, up to a certain age,... .
I too think it is weird to have your ex's gf being the one to shower
with your daughter.
Talk this over with your daughter, and set some boundaries about this
with your ex.
