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-

No mildew, and I had one for 4 years before I replaced it, it can get soap scum and collect dust sometimes but it's very easy to clean, I cleaned it right there in the shower and used q-tips to clean the narrow spaces; a product like windex also worked well.

I've only had it a day, but one of the first things I did was put it under the fawcett. It worked fine. We intend to use it at the pool. I think it would be fine in the shower.

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 would assume so. It was effected/lightened by sweat when my daughter went to basketball practice, so I would assume that chlorine would take it off or at least make it lighter.

NO!!!! I used this today in the pool and it had a spot that was no longer sticking which mean water got in it and probably washed away the medicine..sucks b/c I just put it on this morning. It did stay on fine in the shower though but NOT in the pool!

I agree with the "temporary immersion" theory. I would think chlorine or salt water would eventually mess with the band or screen. The thought is that you don't have to worry about it getting wet when it rains, or washing your hands, or a quick shower.

Yes. I pull up the mat and lay it on the edge of the tub every day. No mildew yet!

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.

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.

I jog with mine around my neck. I've been caught in the rain and everything inside has been fine. I thought it states it is airtight, so I am assuming so. I have not submersed mine under water to really test that. I love mine. I got the smaller one. I get compliments on it all the time. I wear it on a stainless steel necklace.

I have not tried this with swimming, I don't think it was meant to do that. I have used it to exercise - and it did get wet with sweat and still works, no issues

I use it in the shower and it's absolutely waterproof. Just today I was flipping pages on the pad with wet hands to see notes my husband has left me in there. :) Nothing smeared and then I wrote with the pencil on the wet pages with no problem.

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

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

We have this in our sunroom where we have out swim spa. we are tracking water out of it all of the time and it doesn't seem to bother it if that is what you are wondering.

Yes, actually it's better to. Ring it out so just damp, roll it back up, put it back in original container. I have had one of mine for 15+ yrs still good! Does not mildew.
