Do these work well as swimming trunks?

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

Definitely! They fit pretty snugly, so just be careful not to stretch too much or they will tear (but for the price and amount you get, this isn't the worst thing).

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 would say no. The material that they are made of wouldn't do well in water.

Yes. Absolutely. They will work for the wet clothes and much more. They are the BEST!

I think if you are a strong, fast swimmer they may come loose..... This could be remedied by using goggles to secure them, or a swimming cap. I do a fast side stroke and I haven't had any problem with them coming off while swimming. I also do a slow- medium freestyle and I haven't had a problem with them. I love them....for the price, give them a try. You could always use them for relaxing pool time or work-outs...

To be honest, I don't really know. I just used mine for swimming at the gym pool for lessons. For that, they worked well for me. Sorry.

I like them to fit like a wetsuit which is pretty tight. You should have to "roll" it up off your back when you take it off. Sounds like you have the correct size.

I don't see how these pants can help you improve floating. That should be more about technique that you can consult with a swimming coach ;-) !!

Might be too small, but they do have two snaps on the back, so they may possibly fit if you use the last snap. Worth a try! They're really great, absorbent and waterproof.

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

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

Yes. My daughter and I have been using them 2-4 times a week all summer and they work great. Makes the lap swimming go by much faster.

I believe they would work for that purpose. Very nice towels in my opinion.

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.

They are like "gummie bears"...so try it out with gummie bears and if they float, these will. I bought them, but didn't float them. They are very light...I would think so.

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.
