Stinky Towels Syndrome

Anyone have a towel that doesn't wash up nice and fresh? I've got a swimming towel that frankly smeels terrible now, even right after the wash. It smells stagnant, Mrs Stud won't even give it to the Dog LOL. I thought perhaps the machine isn't rinsing thoroughly but nothing else smells, clothes are fine and smell great. I'm forced to believe that it is something to do with the water at the YMCA...perhaps even after showering I am sweating chlorine or other things into the towel. Does anyone else have this issue or any thoughts. :rofl:

    I can't see using a different towel every day, or every other day--I mean yeah my situation is a bit extreme--but it's not like drying off at the pool is my last hope for cleanliness for the day--i shower at the pool--so im cleaner than if I had just jumped out of the pool, it drys hanging up every night, and I shower again and use a different towel back at my apartment 15 minutes later.... I bring 3 wicking towels with me to swim meets--I hate wet towels, and I really hate terry towels at meets--because they do smell and retain so much water.
