My 12 y/o trains on the varsity swimming team. He is at the pool everyday. Since he doesn't like chamois, is this a good alternative? Does it dry fast

These are amazing towels. I have three girls and they all love my towel and will be buying one for each one of them. The towel dries in seconds and it dries amazingly quick. I use it as my surf towel. Not only does it dry quick, but my girls all use mine at the beach and it dries everyone.

It has a nice soft touch and will dry you off without that sensation chamois leaves (that you still feel a little wet) it dries fast but you need some sun or breeze. i was a swimmer my whole teen years, this towel would have work wonders on a competition day.

It does dry fast. However, if he doesn't like chamois he probably won't like this either. It's pretty much the same thing. You have to blot to soak up water.

Yes, in my opinion I think it dries fast, specially if you have a fan around or windows open, you will be able to put clothing over with no problem!!! Another thing you can do is blow some air to your face by yourself with a sheet of paper or with your hands, it will help it to dry quicker too!!! About go on clear, depending how much cream you are applying to your face, as this cream is not a clear one, is more a whitey one, so if you don't want it to be seen, apply in very small amounts to the affected area!!! :] I wish you good luck & I hope it works to you as much as it worked & always does for me!!! *Blessings* Yes, in my opinion I think it dries fast, specially if you have a fan around or windows open, you will be able to put clothing over with no problem!!!

Yes I recommend that product. I have used this product many times in a chlorine pool and it is very durable and is still good as new. I hope that helps.

I wore this at an indoor pool where the water was slightly warmer (85). The air temp was cool. I get cold easily, and I found the cool water made it's way up my back and became chilly if I wasn't doing something vigorous. The shortie I have bought since is a better choice for me. I think you may have to take in account how warm you are on a regular basis (I rarely feel the heat), and how vigorously you will be exercising.

i dont think it dries too fast. You should be able to do that.I know you can add an oil like mineral oil to help it from drying out.you can also just buy a green sperate,I know there not too much.they usally have

It is not like water but a little thicker. It is not a cream. Where did you order the product from? I purchased one from the former buy.com and it was counterfeit. Check the sku number. The one that is like cream is counterfeit. I absolutely love this product but be careful of the inexpensive ones. If the price is cheap, it's not the real stuff. When I checked the sku with my iPhone, it came up as a conditioner! The actual product is clear.

I bought it for my daughter, she liked it for her skin. It is a bit drying but it does work. Just cut back if it gets to dry. We bought the Jojobo oil that is recommended to put on for the dryness. It helps. It's a good kit, I thought the price is good to. hope you like it

So far I have only used it once a day. It might be drying, but it's worth a try - think I will!

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!

This can be used both wet and dry. When used dry you just need to make sure that no sharp objects are on or in the kids clothing. We used it dry in the spring when it was not warm enough yet. However, wet it seemed a lot more fun for the kids

Honestly I don't know, but it's got the consistency of lip balm, so it's easy to get a nice, thick layer on. We've never had any problems with it at the pool.

It's a nylon (parachute) type material so if you are just standing in a pool or whatever, it wouldn't be bad if it got a little wet. No pads, so it would dry quick, but I don't think it's necessarily made for it, so too much chlorine could be a problem if prolonged use in a pool.

How are you doing, Rlizabeth? I bought this item from Amazon.com a couple of years ago. While it is well made, and I like this item, I don't believe that it is waterproof. For one thing, the weights are in individual, unsealed pouches whereby water can easily enter. Therefore, there is no way to keep them dry and potentially rust-free. That being said, I would not recommend them for aqua excercises in the pool. But, if you're looking for a neat, cool weight training aide, these would definitely fit the bill. Good luck and please have a good day! Rafiah.

These aren't absorbent like the Huggies or similar brand swim diapers, so pee will soak thru. But, they are better about catching poop. The swim school my child attends requires that kids wear two of this type swim diaper when he goes to his lessons. We haven't had any problems with this method.

It absorbs some sweat, but it is not ever dripping. I think it is best to leave your mat rolled out to dry after practice with any mat.

Yes, I would say it dries within 10 minutes, probably less. Sometimes my son just fills in the entire mat though, and when he does it takes quite some time to dry

Yes my husband wore it outside before and after pool time, drues up quickly, but if its 90-100 deg weather like in Mexico, it does absorb a lot if gest after few hrs.
