Best Towels for Swimming Pools

If you are looking for the best swimming pool towels, you are not alone. Finding great towels is one of the most important aspects of enjoying your pool or beach experience. In other words, no matter how much fun you are having, you will still want a high-quality towel to use when you are finished and want to relax and dry off. However, with the abundance of beach towels on the market, it can be difficult to choose the best one for you. With that in mind, here is a list of the best towels for swimming pools.

Micro-Fiber Towels

If you are seeking a great towel to help you dry off after swimming in a pool, a micro-fiber towel may be your best bet. These are ideal because unlike many beach towels, they are small enough to fit into bags of virtually any size. Moreover, they dry incredibly fast, which is ideal for those who swim as a means of training or getting exercise regularly. Also, they are very durable while still giving you the feeling of being nestled in a blanket when you wrap them around you.

Ecolite Microfiber Towels

No matter if you choose to take sand to the beach, you certainly don't want it to cling to your towel when it's time to leave. An environmentally-friendly microfiber towel, Ecolite microfiber towels are an excellent choice for a beach towel. Made from recycled materials, this high tech fabric is preferred by beachgoers because it is lightweight, fast-drying, antimicrobial, and sand repellent.

Cotton Towels

On the other hand, if you prefer a fluffier towel after swimming, a cotton towel may be a great option for you. Hotel and spa towels are typically made from cotton because they offer superior comfort, without having to worry about the space they take to store. However, these are more ideal for personal pools at your home or a friend's house or the beach as they do not dry quickly and are not easily rolled up and stored in compact spaces.

Chamois Towels

Another, often lesser considered type of towel for swimming is a chamois towel. These are preferred by many because they have a soft, felt-like finish that can be easily wrung out for drying. While they do not offer much in the way of comfort or swaddling, these are ideal for those who regularly swim for sport or exercise and may opt to swim on their lunch break, or whenever they have the time to do so. Often preferred by Olympic-level swimmers, these are ideal for anyone who visits swimming pools as a lifestyle rather than traveling to the beach for fun and leisure.

Hands-Free Towels

Hands-free towels are a relatively new phenomenon, but they are already gaining lots of traction among pool owners and beachgoers of all kinds. However, they are often preferred by those who are on the go but regularly swim as a lifestyle. Available in an array of sizes and colors, the main benefit of these towels is that they have thick, sturdy straps attached, which makes them easy to lug around and pack up.

Turkish Towels

Also known as peshtemal, fouta, or hammam towels, Turkish towels have been in existence since the 17th century. Made from Turkish cotton (tightly woven cotton on one side and plush terry cotton on the reverse side), these are much preferred because they are highly absorbent and super soft. These are often preferred by those who frequent swimming pools over terry cloth towels because they are woven using longer staple fibers making them softer and stronger than their terrycloth counterparts.

Overall, there are plenty of swimming towels to choose from. Nevertheless, not all towels are created equal. No matter what kind of towel you choose, be sure to make sure it is absorbent, large, enough, and that it matches your personal style preferences. Either way, if you are going to be spending a day at the beach or going to an awesome pool party, all you need is some good food, fun swimming pool accessories, and a great beach towel to ensure that you are happy and comfortable from the beginning of the day to the very end.
