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 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.

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 wear it outside and while swimming. I think it is fine in shower, doing dishes, including he rain, and in the pool.

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 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.

My son has used his for his PE Locker which although shaded by the building overhang, is basically outdoors. It has been fine for the past 6 months. It is worth noting that we live in San Diego so rain is minimal - good luck.

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.

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!

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

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

Yes, it's completely waterproof. I've used it for two years and have had no mildew or leaks.

As long as you have the room I don't see an issue. Check the dimensions. It's wonderful in a tub. Consider a handheld shower as well. Helps keep things dry since you can't use a door or or shower curtain as effectively.

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.
