Are they good for straight swimming in 55 degree water? Do they pull off when you are propelling forward or stay put?

They stay put just fine. Don't think they would come off unless way too big as they are pretty snug and just stretchy enough to get over your heel. They would help you stay warm, but probably should be used with a thin wet suit or at the very least a swim skin if concerned about cold. Much more important to keep your core warm than your feet.

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.

Not me. Mine stay clear until I am really warm from work out, then they may begin to fog depending on water temperature.

Yes they will survive. Make sure you have all the covers on, but because its made out of foam even if you flip upside down it will float on top of the water. The only thing that got wet for me was the motor which is alright to get wet.

In my opinion these were not stiff at all, really like them even using a reel while diving - not easy with stiff gloves. These were easy to get on and kept me warm at 100 feet. I'm not sure how well these will work with an oar but it's worth a try.

I used them snorkeling and paddle boarding. I would think they would grip the board just fine and stay on. Been awhile but I think I ordered size 13 and I'm a 12 and they fit well. Good luck

I use the rash guard to keep warm while doing aqua arobics. The water is supposed to be warm, but it is usually cold. Once out of the water I take it off because it does get cold then.

Slightly, but nothing to write home about. If you are closer to the upper weight limit (I think 130ish), you will get wetter. It is enough to discourage kayaking when the water temperature drops, though. We only use them in summer and early fall.

I bought these for a 16 foot boat while drifting in wind. Using one or two in the current may keep you steady but I would probably opt for a larger size. my experience is limited to 16 to 20 foot boats.

They are usually worn tight to help keep you warm in the water. It's stretchy but not like a spanx or that type of thing. It may help a bit though.

Yes they can be used for swimming, they stay in real well and do a great job. you can also get them in flesh color.

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 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.

Hi Giulie, I got these for my grandson for lifeguarding. As long as you aren't dragging them in the sand/rocks on take off or landing they should be find.

I used the chart, there was a link. I prefer close fit, as sand does still get in and when swimming I don't want to feel them flopping and they are a nice thin stretchy material.

They float. I love mine propulsion is greatand they are my main surf rescue fins.

As deep as you want... i made it to 55feet as long as you can go down and the dpressure is fine for you the equipment will work. However temperature is a factor don't take out of water then place back in water it will get foggy because of the different temparatures so as you enter keep in water and you wont have to worry about condensation.
