Would this work well in a swim team situation where a teen is placing it back into the locker at the end of session? Any mildewing?

I used to be on swim team and when I got this towel all I could think was "this would have been SO COOL for swim team"!! I use it for everyday showering, but and it dries my hair fast, and the towel itself dries quickly too so my thought is that it would dry out quickly even if you are getting in and out of the pool. The other thing I REALLY like is that it is small and lightweight but warm. The one thing I might be concerned about would be color fade with the chlorine, but I would also guess that it probably wouldn't make any more of a difference than with any other towel. Anyway, hope this helps, good luck with swim team!

I think as long as it's not balled or folded up in the locker it should be fine. It absorbs a lot. I've used it camping and back packing and it does dry fast.

Hmmm, I would think it would need to be aired out - it is supper absorbent but would need to breath some to air out.I would buy one and get it shipped to you and then see what you think. And I have the 16-32 but think the 20x40 or 24x48 would work well for full body once or twice over drying. -Jimmy-

Yes, it's completely waterproof. I've used it for two years and have had no mildew or leaks.

Yes it will be. I have used a long sleeve version of this shirt in a heavily chlorinated pool for 6 months and it has held up. Just rinse it well or wash it after each use to get the chlorine out of it. Hope this helps you out.

We've had no problems hand washing the monitor and strap. But I'm not sure how well it would work or hold up during long term use swimming.

Hi Wendy, I go to the gym at least twice a week here in Maryland and use the Belkin Armband all the time. There is a slight bit of moisture on my nano when I'm done, but it has not harmed the nano to this point. However, the conditions you are running in, I would probably use a plastic 'baggie' over top of the armband as I personally do not believe it would keep the nano dry over time. Again...just my obervations and opinion. Hope you are doing well. chuck

It is merely resistant. The company advises you don't swim with it. But it does have a feature to log in workouts. When I swim I log it in the "Other" category at an "In the zone" level. My UP stays in the locker during my swims.

I am sure at some point it could get mildew but for now it is fine and dries quickly to help prevent mildew. Since the shower does remain wet as long as it does with the use of a plastic curtain it seems to cut done on the possibility. I think it works just fine, no problems at this point.

It is mildew retardant but over time it can get dirty if not picked up and cleaned. A product called X-14 works wonders.

I use mine for swimming laps occasionally and it is waterproof so far. I think the jarring from the fall into the water may be a problem, though.

I have never used it in a stinky locker room, but since it gets rid of odors in a stinky washroom, I am sure that it would work just fine.

I'm glad you asked. I competed In USS, and later coached High School swimming, water polo, and a USS Swimming team. I bought this unit specifically to do workouts in the pool. It will take some adjusting/playing with the unit, but it will fit snugly and hold in place, under your goggle strap. I wouldn't try diving in with it though. It's amazing what it'll do for your workout intensity!

We use this as my Mother-In-Law's house out by the pool, got it for her as a gift. I have often sat under it with my phone with no ill effects as I am not sitting directly under the mister. That area gets pretty soggy. I wouldn't leave it on a table by the Mister, but haven't had any issues other than wiping the sea spray off of screen occasionally when using it by one.

You would think so, but in the couple years I've had mine, it has stayed damp with no mildew. I do spray it down with the high pressure hose as I wash my car to keep it clean.

I wear it outside and while swimming. I think it is fine in shower, doing dishes, including he rain, and in the pool.

If you are looking for something light to wear over a swim suit to block the sun then yes this would be OK. And it would dry fast. Wouldn't recommend it by itself in place of a bathing suit. Wicks well. I have the white one and it is not very forgiving. Sports bra shows easily through it. Regardless i love the shirt for hot, humid runs. Works well for that.

I have had no problems with mildew. I is a very good mat. Only problem is it could have been a little bigger.

my son has washed his hands with it on with no issues, I wouldn't swim with it, but a little water on it doesn't seem to be an issue
