I use this bag for the pool and will use it at the beach. the mess canvas is stiff and sturdy, even though it's mesh.  You might think it's soft and flimsy, but it's not.  I have no doubt will last well over 10 years!  So choose a color you love! The design is well thought out, with pockets on the outside so you don't have to hunt for things.  The large interior pocket/main compartment is great for two HUGE beach towels.  I got the dolphin size.  One warning: you can put a lot of stuff in this bag and even though it's a medium size bag, it gets heavy, so don't overload.

I LOVE THIS BAG and the "whale" size one I have, too!  The best part is that the material it is made from is strong enough to hold it's shape, stand up, etc. and porus enough to allow everything to vent and dry!!  The next best thing about this bag is all the outside pockets!  I can keep all the things that I used to hunt for in the bottom of my bag, handy and easy to locate in any one of the outside pockets.  There is also a convenient loop to attach your keys or your lock, etc.  I will recommend this bag to lap swimmers, families who go to the pool or the beach, or anyone who likes to keep their gear organized, handy, and dry.

love this bag because of the pockets for lotion/item storage separate from towels.  You aren't constantly digging to find items.  Only "con" I have found is because it is mesh...sand can sift through at the beach.  I solved this by outlining the larger storage area with a plastic bag which works great for storing wet items at the end of the day.  I had first ordered the larger size which works great for whole family but was too large for 2 people.  The smaller size will actually hold 4 beach towels easily.

Used this bag at the beach. Plenty of pockets for cell phone, camera, sunscreen, book and 3 large towels. The best thing I liked about this bag, all you have to do is tap the bag and all the sand fell out. Plan on buying 2 more for family members.

I use the bag to go swimming at the Gym.  The bag is very convenient
because i can separate all my idioms:  my snorkel, fins,  towels,
shampoo, conditioner etc.... However, it is still too big for one person and I wish you would have a smaller version, maybe 2 inches shorter and three inches narrower, keeping all the 5 pockets
