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's a nylon (parachute) type material so if you are just standing in a pool or whatever, it wouldn't be bad if it got a little wet. No pads, so it would dry quick, but I don't think it's necessarily made for it, so too much chlorine could be a problem if prolonged use in a pool.

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.

Its not a water toy, but if you had to wash it and them let it properly dry I think it would be ok. if used as a water toy it would eventually mildew.

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

Yes it should be fine. I am guessing you are worried about it being damaged by the sweat. I have not had any issues with it when I work out and sweat or even when I use it around the pool or water. So it should be fine.

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.

If you are looking for something light to wear over a swim suit to block the sun then yes this would be OK. And it would dry fast. Wouldn't recommend it by itself in place of a bathing suit. Wicks well. I have the white one and it is not very forgiving. Sports bra shows easily through it. Regardless i love the shirt for hot, humid runs. Works well for that.

I use it for my 9-year old daughter who swims everyday and it is safe,works quite well in rinsing out the chlorine. Her hair is less brittle, damaged, and bleached than in previous years before I learned about this product. Hope that helps some!

I haven't had any trouble with the white one getting dingy; however I have been using it in the pool as well.

Very easy - and for that matter if you pick it up from the bottom of the wet tub and let it air dry, mildew doesn't form. The mat is not porous which keeps it from getting mildew. It's a great bath mat!!

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.

I only use this during the school year. It stays under the bathroom sink in the summer. I've done this for two years now. Never had a problem.

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 bought this for the lounge at school and yes I think it gets mildewy. It is hard to take apart to clean because it sticks!

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.

Hi Wendy,I go to the gym at least twice a week here in Maryland and use the Belkin Armband all the time. There is a slight bit of moisture on my nano when I'm done, but it has not harmed the nano to this point. However, the conditions you are running in, I would probably use a plastic 'baggie' over top of the armband as I personally do not believe it would keep the nano dry over time. Again...just my obervations and opinion. Hope you are doing well. chuck
