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.

I used it for showers while back packing. I think it dries fairly quick. It depends on the moisture in the air, but I was really impressed, I didn't notice how long it took to dry but I also never noticed it being damp for too long.

Aquafina is a stick lip balm not a roller ball. My son likes it better than Chapstick or Blistex.

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.

I would not recommend the SportLite towel. It's absorbant, but totally not warm and fuzzy.

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.

This will definitely not dry on your head like classic gel and make your hair crunch when you touch it. I don't know that I'd call it wet, however you can continue to adjust it throughout the day, so I think it should achieve what you are looking for.

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.

Yes, we use it all the time without water, The only thing I have notice is the kids occassionaly get a small sore, kinda like a little burn on their elbows from riding down but my girls don't complain they LOVE IT!!!! Best thing I have bought them :) Well worth the money

William, I think a tradional surf or diving wetsuit would be too hot for out-of-water sport activities. They are incredible insulators, so I would be concerned about overheating or dehydration. I wear my suit half way (to the waist) when I goto the beach. The drive is only 15 minutes, but in that short time of inactivity I'm starting to get very warm. Also, there is the chafing factor. Tradional surf wetsuits will chaf surfers in high friction areas such as the armpits and neck. I can only imagine the chafing you'd get if you ran in one! If you still wish to wear a wetsuit in your workouts, my recommendation would be to look at the lighter weight wetsuits that triathletes use.

When I run I sweat a lot, and as long as I'm not wiping off my face, it stays on. However, when I shower, it definitely becomes super faint. So I think if you just swim but dab your face lightly when you dry it off you should be fine

From what I've read online, you should not wear them in pools with chlorine. That being said, we bought the suit knowing we'd be using it weekly in a pool with chlorine. We needed a suit with full coverage. My son has worn his every week for 6 months to swim lessons in a pool with chlorine. We also wash it in the washing machine each week. The suit has held up with no problems.

We use it in the tub and it is dry the next day. It is pretty quick as the beads inside don't hold the water. Just make sure to squeeze the head too in order to get an water out.

I swim 3 - 5 days a week. I bought this towel because I thought it would be easier to take due to the smaller size than a regular towel and would dry much faster. I LOVE IT! I have not had any issues with this towel! I would buy again in a heart beat! It did not shrink. I do wash on gentle. I can't remember if it is just me or if I was told to when it arrived. I did use a "color catcher" on the first wash, though the sheet of color catcher did not collect any color. It was still white just like when I put it in the washer. I definitely LOVE using this towel!!!

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 used it at the swimming pool and it worked fine. Make sure that when you are drying off with a towel you pat yourself dry, don't rub. I've used this product for years and I have found it to be the only product of its kind that really works. I use it to cover veins on my legs.

I've been using this in my daughter's bath for 2 years now, and she hasn't had any bad reactions. If you have a good amount of chlorine in your water(we lived in Italy for 3 years and had so much chlorine in the water it was like bathing in a pool) this definitely helps. Her skin wasn't as dry as it was prior to using this product.
