The 84 degree pool is cold for me when I swim laps. But, will this jacket be too warm?

Not too warm at all, but it helps to lessen the chill. I'm glad that I bought it.

Swimming laps might be better with a vest. I'm very cold natured so I would use it for laps at 84 degrees, but I think a vest would be enough for most people after getting warmed up. Keep in mind it does run very small. You wouldn't want it too tight for that activity. I wasn't hot in it riding bikes at a casual pace for an hour after snorkeling. It's very flexible but it's still a wetsuit material.

If it's an outdoor pool it is perfect, especially when there's a breeze. Indoor pool you may get too warm.

Our pool is 84-85 degrees, too. You will love this jacket. I've been wearing it all winter in the pool. It makes swimming comfortable. If you feel too warm, while doing many laps, just open the zipper a bit at the neck.

Our pool is 83 degrees and makes entering the pool easier. I believe that you would be too warm. Also the air temperature when you shoulders are out of the water can make a difference. If the sun is out you can be very warm.

I think you will likely be too warm once you warm up. If it's practical to do so, you could wear the jacket for your warm up and then take it off. With the full length zipper, it isn't hard to take off.

I don't think the jacket will overheat you, but 85 degrees is the standard pool temp. I would be more concerned about the drag of water on your arms. I really enjoy mine, but I walk 90 minutes in the pool every morning. Not swimming laps.

I'd say the coat is perfect for those temps. It will keep you warm without being too hot. I'd use a good, breathable under layer too.

I am VERY skinny, but if we're talking fairly cool swimming pools, this is a great suit. I do feel a gap in my scrawny back area where I feel the coolness of the water, but otherwise I swim laps happily in this. A good buy, lasted me over 7 months at 2x a week. Probably not warm enough for the ocean.

I don't know, I returned the jacket right away because the connections were too loose and jacket would not stay warm, if you move at all!

I find it as warm as a medium fill down parka, but not quite as warm as a really high fill sub arctic rated down parka. It serves me well pn MOST winter days, all but the most frigid (below zero )

Yes, but how much will depend on your location. An in-ground pool will generally stay 10 degrees warmer than the coldest nighttime temperature. I live in South Florida, so my cover will raise the temperature 6-10 degrees. Therefore, in May, when the nights are in the high 60's, I can get my pool up to the low to mid eighties. In August, when nighttime lows are in the mid 70's, I can get it up to 90 degrees. Of course, it also depends on how much sun your pool gets during the day. If you have the pool in a lot of shade, the cover will keep the pool clean and save you on chemicals, but it won't do much to raise the temperature. Yes, but how much will depend on your location.

It was only about 55 degrees when I used it and it was fine. I'm not sure about really cold weather.

Hmm, I know it has kept me plenty dry, warm, and not sweaty and I have given it plenty of action, including violent swims. The neck gasket does leak a tiny bit, which happened a couple of weeks ago at Kilchis River on the SHORE when I got wave after wave of heavy rain dumped on me for a good half hour. Get one of those LL Bean fleece fishing jumpsuits for $50-60 to wear under it, and a sweatshirt to wear between it and the drysuit if it's cold outside, and you will be fine.

It might have some effect when it's breezy but over all it's a fairly cozy jacket. Forty and windy, I would recommend a shell over it, you would be good to twenty then.

Yes- if it is 70 - you will feel like it is 80 I think it provides a whole 10 degree HELP but not any more - perfect for Southern Florida if your pool is not heated. It has held up very well also.

You would still need a jacket. If you sit close you will feel warmth, but not really a lot of heat.

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.

That suit should be perfect, my 5 year old wore his earlier this year in 60 degree and cooler water, he is in a short arm short leg suit now that the water is upper 60s I've surfed my entire life in RI and have had lots if suits, this is a great suit for the price

I'd definitely say yes! I've done a lot of laps in mine, and I've never felt cold.

I find this jacket is best when it is 25-40 degrees out. It blocks the wind nicely and if you pair it with a warm scarf/hat/gloves, you could probably get away with wearing it when it's under 20 degrees.

Yes it will, we have a simple rash guard for medium tempts and short swims but we use this one for longer swims and it keeps her at body temperature. We are in California so the water is warm but the temp gets cold while night swimming. I would recommend it.
