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 would be fine. The material is heavy weight and I wouldn't hesitate to put it in calm water!

I use this in the pool with no problem. Very watertight. The instructions will have you test the case and submerge in water so if your phone, and case, pass that test, you are good to go! I do not submerge mine, but I would not be afraid if it dropped in the water.

I've had mine for a while and it hasn't mildewed at all. I even accidentally left some water in it over the weekend, and it just needed a little rinsing with dish soap. So I would say mildew isn't a problem!

I swim laps in a saline pool and haven't had any issues. The closure seals very tightly.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I think it would be ok outside but you would need to make sure it is dry inside because of mildew. I have only used my inside this winter and the ice lasted for days. We love it. I think it would be great for outside around a pool area. Holds lots too!!!

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.

Yes! My sons, that we just purchased this fall when school started, is completely moldy!! It only has water in it and gets cleaned daily. Very disappointed!!

yes up to a point, it is fine if you happen to drop it in a puddle or dog dish momentarily however I would not take it swimming or drop it into a bucket of water. It does keep the rain out and that is good enough for my 15 year old.

I use it in a classroom of ADHD students - it gets quite a workout but I'm sure your environment is much more intense. If it is thrown across dirt or sand (mild sandblasting intensity) I'm sure there will be some wear and tear. The zipper has kept out everything but prolonged submersion in water. It cleans very easily with wipe-its (or multi surface wipes if it needs an extra "punch" and "Pledge wipes" bring back the shine).Hope this helps.

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 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

I've had them in our tub for about two months and I've had no issues with mold or mildew. They're easy to clean and stay put, but can be removed easily if needed. They only thing I don't like is they can still be a bit slippery for little ones. I ended up getting the frogs too, and it helped prevent slipping. Hope this helps.
