Do these work well as swimming trunks?

if you use an underwear beneath it , i'm sure they could work well as swimming trunks.

Yes, absolutely. They feel silky, no leaking (once you fit them to your head), no fogging up. You can swim forever with these goggles.

They wouldn't be any good for swimming. They are vented so water would get in.

It is a wet suit not a dry suit so you will still get wet. I am not sure how flexible it is for "real" swimming. We used them to basically float around while snorkeling, for which they worked great and kept us warm.

I found them to be pretty heavy actually. I don't think they would work very well snorkling. They are basically a training aid to learn to swim better but I guess you could give it a try.

I use them for a toasty swim in 62 degree water very thick. I would guess yes re lobster catching ie enough padding

I don't think I would wear them in a swimming pool but I have gotten mine pretty well soaked an they held up good.

Yes... I am a new swimmer, but a mature woman .. I tried longer fins at my pool, but they felt clumsy. These are perfect for me. They help me move through the water, and work a bit harder. I love them. I ready one review about pressure on your arches, which is true. If you have a high arch you need to stretch them a bit. but they are worth the effort. New swimmer

I use mine in the fall and winter to get in and out of my kayak without getting my feet wet and cold. They are waterproof so I'm not sure they would work well for your purpose. Might look into water shoes specifically made for pool use.

I would think it would work well. The material is similar to a wet suit or neoprene waders.

I guess it depends on how much flab you have to hold in. I bought these to use for swim shorts and I think they do pretty well at holding stomach in and thighs look slimmer. Of course the top comes down over some. I bought 2x even though I wear size 18 cause I did not want them so skin tight I couldn't get them on. They work fine.

Yes, they work great for deep water walking. I use them routinely for that! They make for a great workout.

I have never tried them in the water. I'm not sure if these would work, as I would think it would be rather difficult to keep them in place and could lead to an embarrassing moment. I wouldn't try it unless the top to your swim gear is really secure and bra-like. I always spray them with hairspray before I put them on, so I know they will be locked in.

These are not really thick enough to add floatation. I use them for splash protection and have only been in the water with them a couple of times but have not noticed any added floatation.

You can use it for lap swimming but should note that the ribbing on teh edge of the sleeves and the legs is a bit tight...even with many uses, I found them tight.

these are well made, and have a O-ring to keep out rain and weather moisture, but I would not recommend them for underwater, submerged use. good luck

Good question. I only have used them out side of the water. They fit very snuggly. If I was home now I would test it for you but I am at work. Sorry I could not be of further assistance.
