Would this suit be okay for swimming in a triathlon or lake?

This is a good suit. You'll like it. Sizes tend to run small. Very flexible and would be good for swimming or tri

I wore it in the ocean. It's a nice suit. Snorkle three times last week in it. Good bang for your buck.

Absolutely! Very flexible yet thick enough to keep your body warm. I love mine. I got my kids the same brand... No issues. Great buy for price

Although I've never participated in a swimming triathlon I see no reason why you cannot. I'm a scuba diver. The suit helps insulate body heat as well as helps with aerodynamics while under water. It seems reasonable that it would be suitable for lake use. Hope this helps.

I wear mine for kayaking and getting in the water with temperatures in the low 40's. I live in VA. I love the suit, just takes time to break it in with the right fit. You might be able got with a 3mm and 2mm sleeves. For the price I could not beat it.I hope this helped.

As long as you use it within the confines of what it says from the manufacturer, it should be okay. i only ever use mine when i run or am in the gym, it is sealed from sweat. and has been great in pouring rain. have never gone to swim with it though...

I bought a 6-6x for my daughter who is around 45 lbs. If I were you, I'd buy a 4T, so there is some room to move (and grow). Unlike adult wet suits for scuba diving, you don't want this one super tight. Incidentally, my daughter is still a little cold in this wet suit, just because it's so cold outside. But she is much happier at swim class now!

I feel like it would be flexible enough to surf in...I didn't feel particularly restricted while swimming or snorkeling. I also wore the suit all day on the boat and didn't have any problems. It was a great buy!

I am 5'4 and weigh around 150 and I wear a 28 for competition. I would suggest a 28 or a 30, but it's really a matter of how tight you want the suit to be.

I swim laps 2-3 times and week an tho bathing suit is the only one I have, it's very chlorine resistant! Now with that being said you should never wash your suit in the washing machine an always hang to dry. I never ring mine out either. Hope this helps!Lovin mineCheers

YES!!! This suit holds up to chlorine & bromine. I have had 3 of them. All black in color. Fading is very min. This suit fits skin tight. That is why I have 2 different sizes. After swimming laps for a few months. I needed a smaller size...I became toned! Very important for lap swimming...this suit holds EVERYTHING in PLACE. No bottom shaving needed & I have size D breast, no top popping out! I am 5'2" & 147 lbs. I wear a size 12 in this suit. When I go down from swimming...I have a size 8 that works just as well.

I bought this for my son but in an adult size I think it would be very comfortable to swim laps in. Rash guards are great for that .

The suit is fairly stretchy, and easier to swim in than a full suit. I haven't really tried to swim many laps with it on, although I have worn it in the pool and swum a few laps. It wouldn't be my first choice to swim laps with a wet suit on, but once you're in the water, this suit is comfortable.

Hi Cici,I'd say it's a little higher cut than I'm used to - I generally buy suits that are made for doing laps in a pool (rather than lounging beside the pool) - but it's not extreme by any means. I think the style is flattering and it's good value for the money (pool suits usually being $80+). Hope this helps. Cheers, hm

My husband used it for a deadpool costume with no problem. The dead pool costumes (or at least his) was form fitting so u won't probably be able to wear anything under it but your skiivies or underarmor.

A dive skin might be better than a wetsuit for lap swimming. However, I did a lot of diving with this and found it to be very comfortable and 'effortless,' so lap swimming might be okay if you are willing to strain your muscles slightly against its natural tendency to spring back to neutral position. The size is perfect for me - it is a size 14 and I am a size 14/16.

Hi! For cycling yes, swimming I have not try it! Maybe to big for swimming for me

It stays pretty secure on my knee if fitted properly even when I am pouring with sweat. I suggest you carefully consider the size you get to make sure it is right. As far as swimming I would assume it would stay still.

The jacket is highly adjustable. That said, it should adjust that much, I am 5'7" and weigh 210 Lb. I think that the adjustment is there. As for how the jacket reacts in the water I really can't say as I haven't been in the water with it on. I use it on my boat and thankfully haven't had to test that feature. I would think, for me, it would preform well as the fit is good. I can say that for a life vest it is fairly comfortable to wear.

If you are looking for something light to wear over a swim suit to block the sun then yes this would be OK. And it would dry fast. Wouldn't recommend it by itself in place of a bathing suit. Wicks well. I have the white one and it is not very forgiving. Sports bra shows easily through it. Regardless i love the shirt for hot, humid runs. Works well for that.

I would say no. I bought it for water aerobics at the 'Y'. It's OK for that, but I wouldn't expect it to make me warm in very cold water. Hope that helps.
