This is all I bring when I go to the pool at home or on vacation. (My kids carry their own pool bags). It fits my phone, kindle, wallet, and any other extras like chapstick and sunglasses. It keeps everything dry. During the colder months I throw these in my kids sports bags as well. They are a great size.
