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-

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.

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.

I've showered with it no problem. I did jump in the pool with it before I thought about it and immediately took it off with no problems whatsoever. Nike are great about taking care of any problems with the NikeFuel band as I have had it replaced twice because of a problem with the button on the wrist band. Just make sure you read the ins ructions and, as long as you follow them, Nike will take care of any problems.

I think it could get pretty wet and be fine. A commercial shows a guy surfing with it, and a YouTube review shows someone holding it under a running faucet. I wouldn't drop it in the swimming pool for a long period, but I'll bet it could withstand a quick dunking and be fine.

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.

Never had any mildew issues, but my daughter complained it hurt her hiney so we replaced it with a softer bath mat.

I have not had any mildew issues. They are the same fabric as a "fabric shower curtain so I would imagine that the room climate and moisture would determine the mildew issue more than the curtain in and of itself. They are relatively inexpensive so I would chance it with not much to loose.

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.

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

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

I have been wearing mine in the pool for close to a month now with no problems. I don't think you can dive in it, but it's ok for swimming. You definitely can wear it it the shower or bath too.

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!!!

With water in window. Used actual sea water from the ocean as I didn't have enough fresh water to fill it. It was very hard to dry out the window and am expecting mildew when I use it again. But hopefully not. It was a lifesaver for my kids who were not great swimmers but enjoyed key largo with it. Even some other ladies on the boat used it.

I have not had any problems with mildew, they are easy to clean. I actually use the bottom bucket for the bath toys myself.

We've been using it for 4 months and have not experienced a mildew smell. We hang it in the shower to dry right after bathing.

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.
