My daughter had to have this backpack after noticing everyone else on her swim team had one. When we received it I understood the appeal. It has so much room and many useful pockets. We can fit several towels plus her other gear easily into the pack for meets. It even has a soft lined pocket for electronics with an wire hole for earbuds and of course the wet pouches. It is the ultimate swimmers backpack.
This Speedo backpack is a strong, durable bag. It has plenty of room for anything my daughters need to pack for a swim meet. It even has a chest strap and waist belt for better distribution of weight. We also like the tough material on the bottom of the bag, since that's the area that gets the most wear. The only thing that would be better for us is for the side pockets to be taller. We like to put our shampoo and conditioner bottles in those outside pockets, but these pockets aren't tall enough.
I can fit everything I need for practice and meets in this bag. This was a replacement for a bag my team got two years ago that was just too small. I don't have to worry any more about anything falling out of my bag durring meets because it wouldn't zip. The only thing i didn't like is that in the picture the bag looked like a brighter pink then it really is but the color is still pretty.
My girls use these to carry everything they need for swim team. We love the side pockets for shampoo, goggles, and swim caps. The wet suit goes perfect in the mesh bottom pocket. And we love the size.
My son loves this backpack.
-more pockets would be great! other than that.. i really like the format of the bag. i use it for a swim bag to put goggles, towels, etc. in it
