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-

It is only as rigid as cardboard if you let it dry out, but it can be rehydrated. When it is hydrated it is a smooth mini towel. I personally love this. I am a swimmer and frequently forget my towel and it is small enough to not take up hardly any room in my locker. It is used as a towel and when it absorbs to its capacity it is then wrung out and can be used over and over and over again. The material is actually very soft and delicate on skin.

I'd say "YES" because we have used ours for about 3 months now and no signs of mildew thus far!

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.

Slippery for kids, so far mine gets stuck in it, and i have to get them out of it. So that i could get in. Lol Take care of it, and it will not get moldy. In other words, when not in use, store it away. So, far mine has not faded, yet.

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

We have had ours for a full summer around the pool with several parties, friends over, but not a lot of kids. They have held up well. Any spots came right up, but I haven't spilled anything like red juice on it either. I hope that helps.

Should be ok but I would recommend putting a tarp on the sand. As kids run around in the pool the sand may wear out the bottom of the pool.

We haven't had a problem with it smelling like mildew. We let it air dry between uses.

Wear a swim cap or a headband when doing water aerobics. Mine still works after 8 months, over 100 swims, for sure, including wearing it when I take a long pre-swim warm-up shower, completely submerged when I swim a length along the bottom of the pool. No worries. It is waterproof.

Because I am keeping my water pretty warm, I became concerned about "steaming up" my basement garage and there was a little bit of mildew starting on the garage door. So I started keeping the cover on it when not in use. I have found the cover very easy to remove as I enter the pool and then replace as I exit, so it was a very quick and successful solution to the potential mold or mildew issue.

Very easy - and for that matter if you pick it up from the bottom of the wet tub and let it air dry, mildew doesn't form. The mat is not porous which keeps it from getting mildew. It's a great bath mat!!

I use it as the outside curtain for my shower and have an added liner for the inside, but so far no mildew on mine! My only problem is the rings are already rusted after 6 months

Yes it should be fine. I am guessing you are worried about it being damaged by the sweat. I have not had any issues with it when I work out and sweat or even when I use it around the pool or water. So it should be fine.

I use it while I am running, with the included wristband. It gets a little wet from sweat, but I am careful to take it off quickly after I am done. I have been using it like this since November 2014, with no problems. YMMV

I think it would be fine, although you might want to test a section of material first to see if there is any discoloration. FYI, this didn't do anything to the mildew I had and I had to buy another product. It's a great disinfectant and order remover but no so good at mold or mildew in my experience.

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.
