As long as it is tight fitting, I think this would be perfect for keeping you warm while swimming laps!

It's not as thin as a rash guard but is perfect for me. I don't put my face in the water but do swim back and forth with ease. I think you'll really like it!!!

It will keep you warmer than going bare. I do work out in a warm pool but it is below body temp. The surrounding air is cold. This keeps my arms and shoulders from getting cold. Order the size you wear and this shirt is longer. It is supposed to fit tight. The zipper up the front helps with getting in and out of it.

Absolutely. One of my smartest purchases for water. Believe it or not it does help keep you warmer and I get compliments on it , got the hot pink!

It will help but mine stretched out hugely from the pool chemicals within a short time.

I have bought 2 of them to protect myself from the sun but do know they are good on colder days so would think they would be ok for swimming.

It is comfortably thick enough for me. I bought it for the cooling and it does seem to help! The pad is not cold but the heat seems to go down and stay at a normal temp. Good luck. A,

This shorty works well for warm water, but would require layering for cold water.

I don't know . I use those for my swim goggles only . I noticed however that my goggles will get foggy ( despite the Artificial spit) if i will shower with hot water before entering the pool ( simulating the body heat scenario). It is a good idea - I may try it in the winter.

I dont necessarily feel water enter, but I do have an issue with air pockets. Even going to a smaller size, I still had sir pocket issues. With that said, it did help keep my upper body earmer. Very cold pool, I don't think it would provide enough warmth.

Yes! It's pretty thin maybe 1mm. My son is using it for swim class at an indoor pool now, keeps his core warm while other children are shivering. But I do believe it was made for summer swimming .

3mm Good enough for an 80&lt; degree pool. I bought another one Speedo thermal wetsuit. Which I found after receipt that it is 1mm. I found it weird that the Speedo says thermal wetsuit while this says spring suit. Because this was way thicker and warmer, the speedo was really more like a spring suit and this a thermal suit. It's great quality. I have been washing it in washing machine delicate cycle every week with regular detergent for 6 months straight now. Still looks new. Still thick.

It's thin but that equates to greater ability to move, especially in the shoulders. I wore it in 68 degree open water and was quite comfy. The following year it was a bit warmer and chose to go without for more freedom of movement.

That would depend on how thick your fleece pad is, probably a thin pad would work best. I use a towel and it does transfer heat using just under the highest setting.

I love the vest in water temps between 72-78. I don't know if it would keep you warm in water below that. it probably would, I just don't know for sure. Water does not come in through the arm holes.

This shirt is a rash guard. It is very thin, not neoprene, with no insulation factors whatsoever. I use to to protect from sun and to keep BCD from rubbing. I am a Master Diver and have logged many dives with this. It would be appropriate for warm tropical diving to protect from chafing, but will not keep you warm.

No it won't keep you warm in cold water the fabric isn't that thick. It's better for sun protection.

sorry its taken so long to get back to you I don't use this e-mail often but the answer if you have the room I would recommend a ground pad, the bag is great it will keep you very warm even in sub zero temps. hope this helps

Yes it is thin enough to be worn under both t-shirts and sweatshirts. As long as the space your working in is not "crowded" by obstacles you can get full arm motion while working out. I needed it primarily because I had bad tendonitis in my upper arm ironically, and needed its help even when swimming. Note: the velcro strap didn't like the chorinated pool water in long workouts, but then I expected that.

No. You would want to look for Heat Gear items (designed to keep you cool on the heat). This is a Cold Gear item (designed to keep you warm in the cold).

Thin enough for summer use. For winter, I added an extra blanket. I used this in 95 degree summer weather with no issues

Well, I'm not an advanced swimmer, so I'm not entirely sure, but the shirt is lightweight and the material is good - like a compression shirt, but not thick. I think you could swim laps in it, as surfers wear these when wading out into the ocean. It makes for a good athletic shirt, as well, as I even wore this in the class before my swim class to run a mile for a test. I didn't overheat, and it felt cool and my arms could move freely as I ran.
