It has compartments for swim essentials like goggles and caps, as well as space for towels and personal items. Comfortable straps and padding ensure ease of carrying Review: Well Made and Versatile Backpack - I’m a nurse practitioner and bounce between several different clinics weekly for work, so I needed a sturdy work bag that could carry a lot and would be easy to travel with without breaking the bank. Initially I went for the teal color with large carrying capacity, not realizing it was a swim bag, but after reading the reviews I knew if it didn’t help as a work bag I’d use it for our beach/river trips instead. This bag is really great. Really love the color, very sturdy and well made backpack that is comfortable. Lots of capacity for laptop and other resources/tools I’d need for work, with several helpful compartments for smaller/loose items. I’m using the bottom compartment as a drink/snack bag. Overall this is a well made, versatile backpack for a great price. I like it so much I’m actually buying another one for our beach/river trips. You won’t be disappointed with this purchase! Review: Excellent Quality & Size for a family - My wife and I are very pleased with this product. The swim bag is perfect for not just family trips to the pool, but as a daily pool (swim bag) for me. I'm able to throw my saddles in the bottom, towel and clothes inside, watter bottle for when I take a break, and more. The amount of space for goggles, sunscreen, etc is plenty and allows me and or my family of four to pack for a fun trip at the pool. With the size of the large space all four of our towels fit inside since we normally leave with what we wear, however I can see us using the outside string for a few towels if needed. The pack is soft on the back and shoulders. Has plenty of pockets and storage space, and the bottom if your not using it for your shoes doubles really well for that cold storage for water bottles, soda, or whatever your packing. *Can in the image is a 500ml energy drink for size referance, a smidge larger that a 16oz can* Pros: Large enough for a family of four, or a single person to use for a go to swim bag. Perfect though for that daily swimmer such as myself. The smooth zipper function is also a big plus for me with the large cords attached. This allows for an easy open close bag with no snags or issues. Plus the bottom storage doubling for shoes and or some cold items. Cons: The cord on the outside could be a little more robust. I would not use it for more than a few towels, or a few sandles, as it looks as if it will stretch out and or wearout if used for heavy objects. Overall: Very very pleased with my purchase, and the quality, and functionality is spot on. I would recommend this to anyone. ## Features - Waterproof & Spacious: Our swimming backpack is crafted from upgraded waterproof polyester, ensuring durability against water and wear.
