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-

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

I have never used it in a stinky locker room, but since it gets rid of odors in a stinky washroom, I am sure that it would work just fine.

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 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.

Absolutely! It's perfect. We wash off little kids when they get out of the pool, as well as pets. Works like a charm!

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 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.

We use this as my Mother-In-Law's house out by the pool, got it for her as a gift. I have often sat under it with my phone with no ill effects as I am not sitting directly under the mister. That area gets pretty soggy. I wouldn't leave it on a table by the Mister, but haven't had any issues other than wiping the sea spray off of screen occasionally when using it by one.

my son has washed his hands with it on with no issues, I wouldn't swim with it, but a little water on it doesn't seem to be an issue

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!!

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.

I wore mine in pool all summer and it still looks new. Always rinsed it out after use.

I use it while I am running, with the included wristband. It gets a little wet from sweat, but I am careful to take it off quickly after I am done. I have been using it like this since November 2014, with no problems. YMMV

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 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.
