Speedo backpack 35 L

Swimmers who want one bag for training, school or travel may appreciate the way this Speedo backpack separates everyday items from wet kit.

Its 35 L capacity gives you room for gear, while the removable water-resistant kit bag offers a separate place for damp items.

A padded laptop sleeve and several pockets add useful organisation, though the water-resistant design should not be mistaken for waterproof protection.

How it feels to carry

The adjustable padded shoulder straps, chest strap and breathable mesh back panel are designed to make a loaded bag more manageable. The chest strap can help keep it stable while you move, while the back panel adds a more breathable contact point than a plain, unpadded surface.

For a swim session before class, you could keep your laptop in the padded sleeve, use the main compartment for larger belongings, then put wet kit in the removable bag after training. The open front pocket has a drainage grommet, and the side pocket combines a zippered compartment with a water bottle holder. One practical detail: the product information doesn’t give the backpack’s dimensions, so capacity alone won’t tell you how it will fit in a particular locker or storage space.

Pros

• The 35 L main compartment has a drawstring closure and room for a mix of training and daily-use items.
• A removable water-resistant kit bag helps separate wet swim gear from the rest of your belongings.
• A padded laptop sleeve makes the bag more useful beyond pool sessions.
• Front and side storage includes an open pocket with a drainage grommet, a zipped valuables pocket and a bottle holder.
• The front panel can be customised, which may help distinguish your bag at a meet or during team use.
• Padded adjustable straps, a chest strap and a breathable mesh back panel address carrying comfort and stability.

What would sway the decision

It suits you if you want a swim-focused bag that can also carry school or travel essentials, and you’d use the separate kit bag and multiple pockets to keep things sorted. Compared with a simpler open duffel, this layout offers more dedicated storage and a laptop sleeve, in return, you’re choosing a more organised backpack rather than a basic, single-compartment carry-all.

Better to skip it if you need confirmed dimensions, specific material details or protection from heavy rain and submersion: none of those assurances is provided here. The description calls the design water-resistant, not waterproof, and gives no dimensions to help judge how it will fit your routine. Given its design, the strongest reason to choose it is the combination of swim-kit separation and everyday storage, not a guarantee that every item will stay dry in wet conditions.
