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-

Though heavy when first taking out of the water to hang to dry, I have not had any issues at all with mildewing. Exact time for drying unknown but not too long, but I do live in CO where it is very dry and things tend to try quickly.

Reasonably, and I would trust out for regular swimming. The circuitry is protected by rubber seal, but it really doesn't look all that secure.that said, one of mine gets dunked in a water bowl without problem.

I haven't noticed any mold or mildew on the inside of it. Usually when I wash it I keep it closed so no dirty water goes in then when I dry it I open it back up and put it hold side down.

To be honest I really wouldnt use it in a pool. But it is cotton so it will help in a shower from keeping the baby from slipping. I imagine it that will mark your skin because of the weight when the fabric is wet

I use mine for swimming laps occasionally and it is waterproof so far. I think the jarring from the fall into the water may be a problem, though.

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.

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.

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.

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

You would think so, but in the couple years I've had mine, it has stayed damp with no mildew. I do spray it down with the high pressure hose as I wash my car to keep it clean.

I swim in saline pool and have no problem. I soak in fresh water after each use, per instructions and no issues. Would imagine same would be for ocean swimming.

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

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!!

It's not mold- or mildew-proof, though as others have said, if you unsnap it once or twice a month and run it through a hot wash, it should be good to go. I wasn't following this advice for my first liner and after about a year, I had to throw one out and buy a new one. Now I know to wash it every so often. I throw it in the wash with my bath mat, and/or sometimes with the shower curtain itself.

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.
