Yep, this seems to be my year for swim "gadgets & gear'". Got the lap counter last month, bought this wonderful swim backpack a couple of months ago, and don't know how I did without it. Of course that adds ONE MORE BAG to my arsenal. One for biking gear, one for run/walking gear, one for normal take-to-work gear, one for gym weight training gear, and now one for swim gear. I feel like I am constantly packing and unpacking -- well, that's probably because I am... Nancy

hi, I have one also; one of the US olympic style ones... I bought it at Sports Authority for $16.00, on sale. The straps had to be reinforced, because they were beginning to tear, due to all of the junk I schlep around with me to practices... I think that they're great! peace...

Originally posted by Fitswimmer04 I don't know whether it actually "dried", but it got less supple-I'm wondering if the chlorine had something to do with it. That happened to me before on the plastic of my cell phone case. The part that went over the buttons used to be nice but one day it just cracked in half... So I don't think chlorine might have anything to do with it...

I'm glad you liked your USMS bag... I used to work for Kast-A-Ways and it's an awesome item! Yes, you can get a LOT of stuff in there! S.

i don't have a USMS backpack, but i do have another style of speedo backpack. and i absolutely love it. i constantly question why it took me so long to get one. i also use it for short trips that don't involve swimming (which are few and far between ;) )

I've had one for over a year and I LOVE IT TOO!!:D I use it for everything-I took it to Disney World this fall and I used it in the parks everyday. The only problem is the wet pack plastic dried and cracked so it doesn't keep the wet stuff completely separate anymore.:mad:
